“It’s not about faith.
What we call luck, doesn’t exist, because everything depends on how we see it.
That’s the point.
The viewpoint.
How I define my own situation.
Which is just mine.
Mine?
Which viewpoint?
Reach out one of your hands, and put up your thumb.
Now close your right eye, and measure your thumb to an object in the far.
The thumb is on the left side of the object.
Now close your left eye.
The thumb is on the right side of the same object.
Without making any other changes.
It’s the same phenomenon, the personal perception of the same man – which is always different.
It’s about this.
About the show, which I make.
About my own show.”

Annamária Dáncsuj: Faites vos jeux! – When All Performances are Different
Háromszék, Kovakő column , 2nd of April 2011
“The creators display incredible creativity, presence of mind, awareness of different situations, one can easily tell that they are part of a close community. It was wonderful to experience how well they can pay attention to each other and despite the fact that this play is practically unreherasble because this genre gives way for millions of possibilities depending on the props, the setting and the characters. They, however, succeed to make the most out of all these situations, all of them convey a well-defined message

“In one hour this becomes a socializing game even if the short scenes would not allow the birth of new stories, they cannot let any short-lived hero get them side-tracked, because in the very instance such a sideway occurs the players are quick at banishing it. The public sympathy is the effect of the improvisation, we start to sympathise with the actors rather than the characters, as the actors undertake the possibility of failure with every new scene, because they can mix up lines and miss out on paying infallible attention to each other. ”

“The WRP private theatre company from Kolozsvár have come up with an outstandingly exciting performance entitled Faites vos jeux (…) One of the performance’s strong points is that it reflects the language of the theatre, and it makes a topic of hidden territories of the acting life: how does the actor build up a scene, a character, and how does it relate to the other characters. The other important strength of this show is the continuous struggle, as the actors endeavour to create a sensible scene out of every impossible situation.”

“The improvisation is interesting. If they succeed that’s why, and if they fail that’s why. ”
