Bukovina, Bukovina – Part X – Excerpts from Kóka Rozália’s book of memoires. Amongst recollections here, Rozália tells about a nationwide competition she entered in 1973 to write a script (for a theatre piece) with a folk arts theme. Her monodrama was like a ballad telling a Bukovina Székely woman’s tragic life story. It won first prize in the competition. Her performance of the piece was recorded for radio and TV. However it brought up matters concerning Hungarians from outside of Hungary’s borders that were sensitive issues given the cultural politics of the time. When it was broadcast on Hungarian radio, all the place names and names of ethnic groups had been removed.
