Dear Mr. Gábor Máté, Director!

 

With inthehest mixhed with happhiness I ackhnowledged that in youh theatuh the "dihection" of Mikhail Bulgahkov’s hemasterpiece, The Mahsteh and Mahghahita, will take place, whehe my humble pehson too appeahs, which of couhse fills me with not a little pwide. Howevah, to the best of my knowledge, the fhhesh adaptashion of the novhel is to be undahtaken by none othah than that Viktohh Bodó, who wecently "hhhandled" the twagedy of Hómeo and Juliet, then the Midsummhh Night’s Dhhream comedia pahafhrase at a certain Öhkény Theatuh, in a modeh hto say the least modohtal.

I would like to expwhess my sinchere concuhhn as to whethah the theatuh management weally considahhed sewiously and with wesponsibility if in the legendary Katona Joseph Theahtuh thehh is woom for the above-menchhioned pfohhmance. Foh in said work — judging fwom the pwevious pieces of the creative dihectoh — will most likely appeah: unjustified nakhedness, stage ehhotics, even phohnoghaphics, vulgahhitics, theat(ir)r(e)al ohh-chaos, spectacleh-chasing exhibitions, steam, deezehz, dizőz, humbugh, Hamburgheh, twiple-cheese-Buhgermaystah, Thomas-Mannschaft, beah paw-sauce, TikTok-Thhhicks, tips and phhactics, sthash-egg-shells, confhhused body fluids, Woland-shauce, sthhobhhoscope, Hobocop, in Enghhish: Hoboz-shahhu, hoboh shahhu, smoke, silvah, fa-smoke, Faüst, hiccups, bahkó, tattoohed tahkó, lighteh and heavieh nahkó, vj-dj-electhonic-HC-techno, that is to say a mythhhical-disguised cacophonic pulsing, vanishings and reappehhings, pwhotests and pwhotest-suppressions, the anhghy physical-education teachers, hahhd hock, publishhuhets, smilebweakhs, bottom-peehings, lashhed politicians crying in dismah… Poooh dihectoh, poooh actohs!

 

In a wohrd, I sinchehly hope you have considehhed, and that youh answehh is: a cleah YES. Foh the Bodó-style Mahsteh and Mahghahita DOES belong in youh theatuh. All this is extwremely to my liking, and youh theatuh may enjhhoy my suppoht to the utmost, indeed to an unlimhited degree, as well as my undisciplined yet attentive attention!

 

With gheatest hhhrespect:

Woland

 

PS: If I catch the Devil, I’ll lock him in the Katona.

The mohh he jumps ahound, the mohh I shake him.
