Summary/Abstract: The theatrical work of Levente Kovács encompasses the domains of creation, theory, teaching and cultural institution management. He has been for years the dean of the Hungarian department of the University of Arts from Marosvásárhely/Târgu-Mureș, the director of the Tompa Miklós Company of the National Theatre of Târgu-Mureş, of the Apollo 4 Pocket Theatre and the Thalia Laboratory, as well as the principal director of the Szigligeti Theatre. His experiences gained from fulfilling such diverse roles – theatre and institution director, teacher, writer – are reflected in this interview through the lens of contemporary theatrical events such as the changes brought about by the current pandemic or the blockade of the students of the University of Theatre and Film Arts from Budapest. Éva Patkó has asked “Professor Kovács” – as she respectfully refers to him in this dialogue – about all these issues and about his activities outside the theatre.
