A tanító / Pompei utolsó éje

In the opening one‑act drama, a cramped, sun‑filtered room becomes the battlefield for a small family ruled by János, a schoolteacher whose voice still echoes the discipline of the classroom. He clashes with his teenage daughter Riza, whose love of romance novels and secret perfume betray a yearning for freedom, while his wife Ida mediates with weary tenderness. The tense dialogue reveals how authority erodes intimacy, hinting at whether the household can find a softer rhythm before the day’s chores end.

The companion piece, a verse tragedy titled “Pompeii’s Last Night,” transports listeners to the volcanic shadow of ancient Herculaneum. Poetic monologues and choral reflections capture the city’s final hours, as lovers and neighbors confront looming ash and ash‑filled skies. The language swells with dread and hope, inviting the audience to feel the ancient heartbeat of a civilization on the brink.
