Abstract
The paper examines the 1979 Studio Theatre production of Cain and Abel by András Sütő, a famous ethnic Hungarian playwright of communist Romania and legendary figure of dissidence. Directed by the rising theatre director and young professor Levente Kovács at the Szentgyörgyi István Institute of Theatre in Târgu Mureș, the performance marks a special moment in the history of the Studio, a symbolic hub of Hungarian minority theatre in 1970s Romania. The analysis explores the cultural and institutional context, highlighting the production’s ritual and physical theatre elements influenced by contemporary European trends. Emphasising generational identity over political allegory, the staging became a defining artistic event, earning major acclaim at the 1980 Minority Theatre Colloquium in Sfântu Gheorghe. The production marked a turning point in Kovács’s career and left a lasting impact on Transylvanian Hungarian theatre history.
