Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian audience of Cluj can notice the appearance of movie like images in more and more plays in the past few years. The present study focuses on some particular cases, when the effect of films can be perceptible in the space and time of a play. I compare two plays for children presented by the Hungarian Theater of Cluj, which use the projected film-sequence mostly in the same way, resulting some new methods in dramatizing that come from film-directing– like „continuous editing”, or change of the perspective.
