VÁDLI Theatre Company
(THE CALVES Theatre Company)
The VÁDLI Theatre Company was founded in 2011. That was the year when Rémusz
Szikszai theatre director invited a few of outstanding Hungarian actors for creating a theatre
project in the program of the festival Zsámbék Theatre Base, and with the same gesture
founded a temporary theatre group which doesn't operate as a permanent company but whose
members have been working together since years. The director and actor Rémusz Szikszai
created in this year the performance Caligula’s Governor. The production had big succes, it
was nominated for the best independent theatre production’s award. It was included into the
Contemporary Drama Festival’s program. Caligula's Governor won the admission of the
Hungarian theatre scene: the Hungarian Theatre Critics' Association nominated the show for
the Prize of the Best Independent Theatre Show of the Year, and it has been selected to the
program of the Contemporary Drama Festival in Budapest.
As a company VÁDLI found its real home at Szkéné Theatre, where the troupe kept on
working on further material: they opened The Cabal of Hypocrites by Bulgakov in 2012,
Elisabeth I. by Paul Foster in 2013 — which has been invited to the official program of the
National Theatre Festival POSZT and won the prize of the Best Actor in a Leading Role and
also the Best Actor in a Supporting Role — and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead by
Tom Stoppard in 2014.
Reviews:
“Rémusz Szikszai cast the queen roles to men hardly for the sake of loyalty to the period, he
was rather interested in the genuine theatrical-histrionic opportunity and risk. Because what
happens if Tamás Fodor plays Elizabeth? Well, that after the initial, and invincible, chuckle it
becomes all natural.” – Judit Csáki on hvg.hu

“The Elizabeth I is an exceptionally well selected and a cleverly used play: Szikszai exploited
the possibilities given by the dramatic text and instructions with big precision. He addressed
almost from scene to scene their final boundaries and balanced on them while formulating his
doubts about the world and its paradoxes.
“What is successful is always just” – declares Elizabeth, the mighty queen of England. And
she must be certainly right, for several reasons straight. To start with the end, Paul Foster’s
Elizabeth I produced by the Vádli Occasional Theatre Company has achieved a poignant
success. Rémusz Szikszai’s direction was greeted with a bursting standing ovation from the
audience, and this alone could be enough to label the performance as significant, justified,
what’s more, current.” – Zsuzsanna Komjáthy on szinhaz.net
“Speaking of Rémusz Szikszai and the Vádli Occasional Theatre Company, it must be
emphasized though that the director profile of Szikszai, who coordinates a virtual, since
production-based but more or less permanent team, gets more and more pronounced: after
three important shows it is most certainly established in what and why the director is
interested in, who fortunately didn’t give up his actor career, either.” – Tamás Jászay on
