Press release synopsis:
The monologue, THE DIARY OF A MADMAN, is poised somewhere between reality and fantasy. In this intimate setting, the audience takes a look at the thoughts inside a fragile man’s head, played by Csongor Szabó. Completely in his own world, he relives memories, dreams and experiences and on his tortuous path he clumsily trips over both life and his own feet. For how can one handle life’s fragility?

"En vigtig dramatisk medspiller er lydsidens reallyde og voksenstemmer". - Vibeke Wern, Berlingske Kultur, Nov 2014.
“Lydsidens tunge fængselsdøre, faste skridt og hårde ord, vækker følelser hos publikum, og det har en stor effekt.” - Iben Maria Hammer, dansemagasinet.dk.
“Hvad ingen havde forventet var nok, at (…) en lille film blev afspillet. Den mest finurlige film, genialt lavet. Blandt andet kan man se ham springe pladask i vandet og svømme afsted blandt tegnede omgivelser.” - Malene Becker Nielsen. dansonline.dk.
