Térey János - Káli holtak (2018)

Trianon's Hamlet, black metal Haramiák and the zombie apocalypse shot in the Káli basin in the repertoire of the young actor of the Füst Milán Theater. The role of Alex Csáky, who is basking in his growing popularity, in the "intellectual survival horror" ultimately turns out to be a bad decision. The young man who built his career with a tenacious awareness, stumbling through a series of professional and personal failures, not only views the contemporary theater and film world more and more critically, but also slowly compares himself to himself.
János Térey's theater novel is a stinging satire and a merciless critique. It plays in Budapest, the Káli Basin, Rome, Istanbul, St. Petersburg and Cluj. Térey's readers may also meet familiar figures in the author's first novel, but any similarity to the figures and events of contemporary Hungarian culture is purely coincidental. The situation is quite different with the landscape.
