From premiere of Lorca with double roles on Student’s Scene in Novi Sad Theatre
Young team – director, composer and actors – of Student’s scene of Novi Sad Theatre wants to win and find new ways of self-realisation.
Director, costume designer and scenographer Kinga Mezei wants to bring to present some ancient molesting and social deprivation of Spanish woman, the subject that Lorca describes in his drama arising from Spanish milieu.
After her wedding, YERMA (Spanish expression for poor land) wants the most natural thing in the world: a child. But her bitter and always business occupied husband is not giving her one. In her spiritual and emotional solitude Yerma’s child yearning becomes an obsession. At the end, after she tried all the “medications” and possibilities, she rebelled: she chokes her husband and destroys herself too. 
Actors of Kinga Mezei are young members of Student’s scene. This fact contributes to reformulating Yerma’s artistic expression, bringing to surface the seal of contemporary youth.
The show is perfectly followed by music of Mezei Silard, built up on motives of Hungarian national songs.
Perfectly composed and permanent choreographic movement, stylized dance, follows the text (scenic movement).
