Summary/Abstract: The Fiddler on the Roof is one of the popular musicals played by Transylvanian Hungarian theatres. In the 2022-23 season, three theatres performed it in parallel. Both the “Csíki Játékszín” Theatre and the Harag György Company of the Northern Theatre of Satu Mare scheduled the premiere for January this year, while the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj has been playing it since 2020. Mónika Rancz’s study approaches and analyses the three performances from the point of view of metaphors. She turns them around like a Rubik’s cube, guessing where each rotation would lead, and keeps trying until a common pattern emerges.
