Abstract

Júlia and Julieta. Mihai Măniuțiu: „Julieta”
András Visky's play, „Júlia” was first staged by Gábor Tompa in 2002, with Enikő Szilágyi portraying the main character, Júlia in a minimalist and static performance, including closed-eye acting. This was a joint production of the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj and Thália Theatre from Budapest. In contrast, the 2005 staging, titled Julieta, directed by Mihai Măniuțiu at the National Theatre of Cluj, featured Vava Ștefănescu in a dynamic, physical theatre. My analysis delves into how these two theatrical interpretations complement each other by showcasing contrasting approaches to the same dramatic text.
