Kovács led the amateur theatrical company Veseli Pajdaši after Irén Barbér's death and authored a few comedies in Prekmurje Slovene,[2] and with his group received the national prize A Nemzetiségi Hagyományok Átörökítéséért (For the Legacy of Minority Cultures) in 2010 at the ARCUSFEST international theater festival in Budapest.[3]
