Abstract

On the 29th of October in 1945, the (Hungarian) People’s Theatre of Subotica premiered Béla Balázs’s Witch Dance (Boszorkánytánc), which was the debut production of the first professional Hungarian acting company in Vojvodina, a company of young amateurs. This analysis not only reconstructs the elements of the performance on the basis of the remaining sources, but it also examines, in detailed manner, the social and political circumstances of the production directed by László Pataki, and highlights the important role of the theatre institution in the ideological re-education of the Hungarians of Vojvodina in the years following the Second World War.
