Imre Madách: The Tragedy of Man MITEM
Georgia's State University of Theatre and Film comes to Budapest for the second time to present Madách's masterpiece. The Tragedy of Man Outer Space Scene was produced as part of MADÁCH PROJECT 2023 in the frame of the International Theatre Olympics in Hungary. Inspired by the Project experience, the institution decided to stage the complete work next semester, this time in the form of a full-length physical theatre production.
"The Tragedy of Man / Fall of Man" searches for the essence of life; the characters, through their actions and despite all obstacles, try to understand the main purpose of life, hope and struggle. Temptation is part of this quest, as a path to self-discovery. The plot, narrated through movement, presents the "great journey" between the motives of eternal struggle and human instincts. The characters, despite all the hardships, endeavour to comprehend the essence of struggle and hope, while fathoming utopian layers of human depths, making specific situations general, and asking questions that evoke empathy in the audience. This abstraction of the imagination traces the main guidelines of human life and creates a web of allusions, trying to solve the puzzle of being human in its own way.
