Kitelepítés (Deportation), a novel by András Visky, winner of the 2023 Margó Prize, is the harrowing story of a family, told from the point of view of a boy, who at age two was deported to a camp on the Bărăgan Plain by the Danube Delta, together with his mother, Júlia Visky and six siblings, and then to the Lăteşti camp, after his father, Ferenc Visky, a Protestant pastor, had been imprisoned. On the other hand, it is also a parable on faith, love and freedom, of being dispersed and gathered. Said the author: ‘This is a triangular book, firstly with my own memories, and those of my brothers and sisters. All this is placed in the biblical narrative, and the book itself seeks to imitate the form of the Bible. The third element is history itself and the documents that I include in this book, because there are secret service documents about me, my mother, my father.’ This complex, polyphonic narrative comes to life in Festival Theatre, where you can hear and see András Visky in the role of the narrator of the novel.
