Plato: Apology of Socrates

Katona József Theatre, Budapest

„In Haumann's excellent portrayal, since this during long, long years matured, polished portrayal is a truly professional acting job, the most impressive is that he uses his well-known artistic means remarkably economically, so to say, moderately. Switching timbre, the depth and altitudes of his tones, the meticulously elaborated ironic mimic, the immersive gestures. Yet in his for umpteenth time „re-played” Socrates, which is an emblatic great role of his career, Haumann does not do anything else than „only” fully identifies with the formed figure, makes ancient philosophy a sensual experience, gives shape to a sophisticated way of thinking, accurately detects and exploits the space and time coordinates.”
