Zsámbék-Medence

József Bieder does his thing after the performance, cleans up the empty stage, and looking up finds himself facing an audience, a full house at that. At first he is startled, not knowing how to resolve this unusual, almost surreal situation, but in the end he is ecstatic. This former assistant actor, this eternal background man, begins to tell stories about his life, which is the theater, and about the theater, which is his life. In what may not be his first, but probably his last “performance”, he uses all his skills, experience and imagination to enchant and entertain everyone he sees in the audience. All the private numbers, all the productions are, of course, about him. The crying, the laughter, the whole evening in the performance of András Kern, directed by Ilan Eldad – the man who staged Six Weeks, Six Dances and Life as Such.
