“Baltazar Theatre touches my heart far more than any other company, even though this should be a basic goal of all theatres. So if anyone asks the often-heard question: is what Baltazar represents art or therapy? The answer is that it is theatre, theatre of the best kind. And of course, it is also therapy – but for us.” (Tóth Ágnes Veronika, Revizor)
