– We still play Life as such, and I can be proud to say that I once took over my role from Adam Rajona – recalled by András Márton. « By then he was known to have a serious illness, but as long as his organization let go, he was on stage and played with András Kern and Erzsébet Kútvölgyi. » I remember I was embarrassed that I had to take Adam’s place. It was a lot of dilemma to be imitated, trying to be like him … It was an impossible business, that is, he is inimitable. His mimicry, his gaze, his style made him unique. I remember when we ran into the theater lobby, looked into my eyes, shook hands, and said to me, a good role, a very good role you can play after me … Then I saw him last. He was a restless man, but at the same time adorable. It is typical of his relationship to life, to the world, that he was defied and left the country when he would not have been.

– We believed it, maybe it would be better, maybe you can get back to the stage. The death of Adam shook us all, and now that we are talking, I am sitting here in the locker room of the Pest Theater, next to me the chair and the table where he was preparing for the performances. And here is a kind of memento, for me, the metal unicum -like box that used as a ashtray, including the butt residues he suppressed. And here is the lighter with me. In spite of the doctors, he was unable to give up the luggage. Adam was an extremely educated, humorous, curious person who kept watching the world around him and his colleagues. Sometimes he sat in the auditorium during the rehearsals, and he always had a couple of sentences for anyone how he could make the performance even better. I miss it, especially for me, because we were friends, and as I come to the locker room every day, here with me and in me, ”said Géza D., the Kossuth and Jászai Mari Prize-winning, about Adam Rajona, who might have been a heroic actor.
