Balázs Nagy was one of the main leaders of the Transgressive Realism Movement and had a history of controversial and provocative work during the thirty years he was in the public eye.[1]
History[edit]
He was one of the founding members of the Transgressive Realism Movement. While studying in the NAIS he filmed The Rape of Capella where he juxtaposed newly declassified footage from the Fourth Succession War and interviews with rape survivors to comment on what he called the unabashed militarism and degenerate brutality of the corrupt Davionist war machine.
From there, he and the group staged protests against everything from ComStar's monopoly of interstellar communication to Melissa Steiner-Davion's latest hairstyle.
Quite unseen during the Clan Invasion, he reappeared with the opus Our Holy Mission, in his own words the truth behind the Jihad and the Inner Sphere nobility's complicity in the bloodshed, and was again notorious for the measure of controversy it generated before it ever opened, when a group called "People for the Preservation of Public Decency" from Anaheim filled a formal protest with the Halverson city council to stop his play as they felt the play undermined the war effort of the Federated Suns and was giving moral support to the Word of Blake.
The Outback Lightspeed Dispatcher explained that during the debut of the opus on the 11th August 3072, the 150 patrons of the Kitty Etheridge Memorial Theater in downtown Halverson (in Anaheim) went in an outraged violence frenzy erupted and even though the police was called to the scene they were too late to prevent the death of the playwright himself, who was found hanged from a lamppost twenty yards from the theater entrance.[1]
