Summary/Abstract: This year, for the thirteenth time, theatre professionals gathered at the dráMA Contemporary Theatre Festival, regularly organized by the Tomcsa Sándor Theatre in Odorheiu Secuiesc in September on a yearly basis, to gain insight into the world of contemporary Hungarian and Romanian dramas and the performances that are born from them. Kata Köllő’s reportage convinces us that, in line with the motto of this year’s festival („We need new forms”), the week-long meeting was indeed rich in innovative and unconventional Romanian theatre productions. Köllő gives an in-depth analysis of K. Gedeon tündöklése és bukása (The Rise and Fall of Gedeon K.) by the Figura Studio Theatre based in Gheorgheni and A sarlatán (The Charlatan) of the Csíki Játékszín, the municipal theatre of Miercurea Ciuc. Both are directed by András Hatházi and have similar themes: they explore the laws of theatrical success, while highlighting the complexity of actor identity.
