Cannibals

The performance has no ENG subtitles.

The butcher has disappeared.

131 Roma were convicted.

No body was found.

41 Roma were publicly executed.

Still no body, still no evidence.

Only confessions extracted under torture.

Independent Theatre Hungary’s new production called Man-eaters draws attention to the forgotten Nyúzóvölgy Massacre, a tragedy in 1782, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when 41 Roma people were publicly executed during an unlawful trial.
