Description of the content One of the most important elements of nationality theatre is language itself. It is important that actors who belong to a nationality and born in Hungary could play in their mother tongue, or sometimes even Hungarian actors that learnt the second language on the highest level could play, as well. It is regrettable that nationalities in Hungary more or less lost their languages. Theatre is the most entertaining and effective form of regaining language. This is why such professional meetings are essential, where companies produce performances of high standard, and audience do not mind if they miss a word of the performance as story and play make everything obvious. There were 18 performances organised in 11 languages during the seven days of the 4th Theatre Festival of Nationalities at Thalia Theatre, Budapest in December 2005. Our film attempts to create an image on the nationality theatre life, its values and its present position.
