Péter Hunčík received the director's award. Katalin Kiss received the award for the best female performance. ; ; ... The other good performance, which stood out from the others, was the production of the Dunaszerdahely theater group, who performed Miklós Mészöly's one-act play The Window Washer, also a play by a contemporary author. This one-act play is not specifically an audience-attracting, or even alienating, theatre, but it is a cutting-edge drama, thanks to its topicality and extremely contemporary theme. The relationship between power and the vulnerable little man, the possibility or impossibility of forms of behavior against oppression, create the tension of the play. Moreover, the stage design (walls built from foil, a bed made from vegetable crates) oriented the possible scene even more relevantly, almost “common-sense” the drama. László Huszár, who plays the symbol of power, the window washer, endowed the role with a kind of perverse arrogance, the condescending superiority of power, and thanks to him and the entire stage design, the viewer was led to believe: he too is vulnerable, not just the snobbish couple; a couple living like doves. Only at the end of the play did we feel a sense of loss, here there could have been more, perhaps better solutions, to make us believe that the eternal loden coat and suitcase are always on us, or in our hands. In any case, Dr. Péter Hunčík's direction ... surpassed the amateur level. ... ;
