Synopsis:
“Uncle Barabas holds a speech
The secret gets found out
Sibling gives birth to father
Twin-tra-ge-dy.

On Tuesdays everything repeats itself. Stories of fiction, in which the illusion gets unmasked. There is a family trauma behind everything? A premeditated crime? An interrogation or a confession? And what’s up with Barabas? We can not know, we can only trust our imagination.
When you have too much to talk about, suddenly you don’t have anything to talk about. “

“I was particularly pleased with Krisztina Sipos’ directorial debut, the Tuesday-choirtemporary show created with the Váróterem, even though I saw it late. Because this avant-garde taste, humor, sophisticated self-reflection, even thinking in small proportions, is so hard to find a place among the big theatrical attractions.”

“Otherwise, I saw very few shows that are as wild and compromise-free as Tuesday – choirtemporary show. This is avant-garde itself!”

”It takes some time until you get to that freedom to let go of the explanations, we have two actors who appear to be boys (or not) and one who appears to be a mother (or not), and a choir that strongly appears to be a choir, and something truely absurd, and then we can enjoy how good they sing and how eregetic and free is Csepe Zsolt’s, Rácz Endre’s and Sebők Maya’s performance.”

“The debut of director Krisztina Sipos is a success. But this also required the convincing and energetic performances of the actors. Zsolt Csepei plays the anti-hero narrator convincingly. He alternates between comical and dramatic solutions in a consistent composition. Perhaps he likes these miserable roles, but for shure, Csepei offers the best performance of the last two, three years. Endre Rácz, in his role as a brother, reaffirms the status of young hope, as well as Maya Sebők, whose future performance must be carefully followed. “
