"I see the Janovics production as an experiment, as it will start where Young Barbarians ended. It's like the second part of a series, a chain link or rather a junction. As with Barbarians, Janovics is not a biographical production, it tries to get as far away from the confines of the theatre as possible, but unlike Barbarians, our aim was to recount the most significant period of the protagonist's life in a "new form", in the Janovics way."
