Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The Baltazar Theater is the only Hungarian professional acting group whose members are mentally challenged. The company was founded by Dóra Elek in 1998, inspired by the Belgian Théatre du Plantin. Though the actors are mentally disabled, their performance is measured by standard expectations rather than according to their abilities, so the stakes are high and the work is tough. The film follows the company during rehearsals for their new play "11 Commandments," revealing hard work, tensions and many interesting questions raised by the play itself. While disclosing a whole new dimension of theater and acting, "Wonderful Gladiators" also seeks to draw attention to the important role the Balthazar Theater plays in the social integration of the mentally challenged.
