Summary/Abstract: The Rats, the first performance directed by Hungarian director Sándor Zsótér in Transylvania with the Tompa Miklós Company of the Tg-Mureș National Theatre, is – in Andrea György’s opinion – a real and exciting theatrical experiment. The reviewer interprets the performance – characterized by a peculiar sign-system of distances between text, image and acting – mainly along Zsótér’s directorial tools. Reviving also the tradition of the tableau vivant, the performance intertwines the contexts of the theatrical environment and Christianity with social and artistic critique.
