Dance of Souls: András Visky’s Drama Cycle about the Human Body

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes András Visky’s collection of plays titled A test történetei (Stories of the Body), examining the interplay between the sacred and the profane within the plays, with particular attention to how the divine is perceived in relation to the traumatized human body. Visky’s texts portray individuals such as Caravaggio and St. Teresa, who experience encounters with the sacred amidst profound suffering. The article highlights that holiness in the characters’ life is not about purity but about engaging with the realities of the world. The author explores the themes of holiness and profanity in Visky’s works, particularly how the numinous or sacred is manifested through human suffering and trauma. She draws attention to the forms of artistic representation of trauma, open dramaturgy, and the characteristic features of Visky’s plays
