Ötgarasos színház

Our predecessors made Hungarian theatre viable in Subotica. The theatre that, as early as October 27, 1945, presented Béla Balázs's drama, Witch Dance. The hopeful, active young actors, the equally young and veteran directors, can never be put to bad use, but their way of life was never as good, but neither as bad, as people imagine it today. The real boom, the 'breaking of chains' was in 1960, when the 'golden age' began, the twelve years (1960-1971) that I want to talk about in substance, and for those who want to bow down to this era, writing about it will not be difficult. I have no intention of 'reinterpreting' the success of a theatre; today we can laughingly step over the mistakes, but since I still do not see the events as an outsider, with all the characteristics of the age, I will try to embellish the virtues, without concealing the less virtuous things.
