Budapest 1943: Four unassuming young artists searching for meaning
amidst the chaos of the Holocaust, find transcendence in the face of
tragedy. Their remarkable philosophical conversations with mysterious
invisible forces comes to life in this luminous one-woman performance.
Based on a true story

The drama unfolds around Gitta Mallasz's courageous attempt to save
her three Jewish friends and over 100 women and children from
deportation by sheltering them in a slave labor factory in the center
of Budapest. As commander in charge she was successful in saving
almost all of the workers.

Hanna Dallos, Gitta's childhood friend and one of the workers in the
factory, was the conduit for the angels' message of personal
responsibility and self-awareness. Gitta and her three friends all
kept detailed diaries of the poetic and highly personal teachings
they experienced over a period of seventeen months from June of 1943
until their deportation in December of 1944.

Gitta Mallasz survived the war and in 1960 smuggled the precious
diaries into France. The dialogues were made public in 1976 as
Dialogue avec L'Ange and immediately became a bestseller, but the the
book in its original language (Az Angyal Valaszol) was banned by the
Communist regime in Hungary until 1991.

The play is based on the original transcripts and brings the
experience of Talking with Angels to the 21st century.
