Frigyes Karinthy: Journey around my skull

Karinthy's work is one of the best disease memoirs of all time, and a unique work of world literature. A heartbreaking investigation into the "great diagnosis". From health to illness - every man's nightmare and the almost inevitable great change of the second half of his life. The work is still of great literary and human value today, as Karinthy turns to the mysteries of the world with an elemental curiosity. He explores himself, the characteristics of medicine and science, obsessively yet with a certain self-irony. He believes in the power of science, in its redemptive power that transcends human lives. Karinthy's rationalist style, his perpetual self-reflection and his sensitivity to parody make his work deeply relatable and entertaining. Humour is an elemental part of life for Karinthy, and it is from this perspective that he analyses everything.

The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes without intermission.
