Contents Summary

The film, working title Surány, is most probably an adaptation of the improvisational theater play The Breakfast of Adolf Kurtz. The play was performed at a sand pit in Surány (Pest County, Hungary) in August 1972 at an open-air avant-garde theatre festival organized by the Kassák Theater. The performance, played by the members of Péter Halász’s group seems to unfold around a rape. The raw, unedited footage documenting the performance survived, while the script and the sound reels didn't. The footage was edited into a silent film by OSA for the first time in 2017.
