Recently one of his writing appeared - titled What politics! - in Élet is
Irodalom. The founder of Krétakör called the artist-staff to take the responsibility
as a public figure, openly tell their opinions. 168 óra asked him about this.
’It is terrible when someone is in real danger, lets say, can lose his/her
job if broaches some scandal. The person who refers to his/her family just to
exempt from telling opinion is a coward’ - said Árpád Schilling who thinks
’struck each other’s hands’ system could work well.
For the question - Does he know that he agrees with
Attila Vidnyánszky? (according to him now the pendulum
swings the other way) - answered: ’ ATTILA VIDNYÁNSZKY’S PENDULUM BREAKS THE
CLOCK. However there have always been people in the theatre who - aside
professionalism - compromise with some
cases. Background bargaining obstructs the open-response to this obvious
turpitude and to Attila Vidnyánszky’s dazzle. What he has done in the past two
years is an insanity. Attila Vidnyánszky - just like György Fekete and Imre
Kerényi - an injured ego. From this private problem Viktor Orbán creates a
public matter that gives unlimited power to Attila Vidnyánszky - said Árpád
Schilling who reported he will never forget that Attila Vidnyánszky was
banging on the table and drawed an imaginary line
between the Magyar Teátriumi Társaság and other organizations when professional
organizations negotiated about the composition of NKA előadó-művészeti kuratórium. Attila Vidnyánszky
said: ’There you are’, ’here we are’ and you could rejoice that you can appoint
a curator.
Attila
Vidnyánszky behaves like a curator chief: distributes favors. Just like György Fekete did - added Árpád
Schilling according to who György Fekete and his mates’ taste can be the State
cultural policy compass. Sane person cannot leave this.
’I
have an interest to form a fair competition in this country where knowledge is
important not the connection. I am obliged to take part in a competition. I can
prove that culture interests me. I must apply, otherwise it will be said
rightly: Schilling criticize from the outside, without responsibility, and stay
passive. It is my job to shake the bell if I notice dirty. My friends, do not
let this, it will be a midden!’ - stated Árpád Schilling.
