If the actor manages to be free inside of a redetermined structure, then he will become just like a song, a perfume, a poetry, which give meaning to everything, the meaning it needs in that particular evening. I still haven’t been able to find this in a very concrete manner, and of course this isn’t even something one can achieve but merely giving instructions. But I do believe in such an approach, and I also believe that Romeo and Juliet is just the right kind of material or such a search.” – Attila Vidnyánszky Jr.

A highly dynamic performance, bedazzling through the direct connection between viewers and characters – feedback is requested, answers are waited for from the audience – and also a disarmingly honest one. (….) Romeo and Juliet, in Attila Vidnyánszky Jr.’s view, has one paramount quality: it surely does not leave one not caring about it! IT challenges you to take a stand. You wither love it completely, or almost not at all and will exit the theatre hall. This is a manifesto for art by this young director, which nowadays, more than ever before, gains consistency and intrinsic value.” – Nona Rapotan, „Despre dragoste la superlativ – Romeo și Julieta în secolul XXI”, 11 July 2021
