Deep breath
There may come a point in everyone's life when they wish they could move back into their childhood bedroom and watch the most important decisions of their lives being made. The main character in the show, Vera, a visual artist with young children, is searching for the answer to why things happened to her the way they did. The show is a story of divorce, but it is much more than that. It's about silencing and confrontation, memories, slackness, snowfall and heatwaves, but most of all, it's about finding a way home to oneself.
Rita Halász's debut novel, Deep Air, won the Margó Prize in 2021 and was shortlisted for the Libri Literary Award's 10 best books in the same year.
Hanna Pálos, a member of the Katona József Theatre in Budapest, is now seen in a more intimate, personal and direct production, after having portrayed major roles on the big stage.

Jurányi House
The Jurányi Production Community Incubator House has become a key venue in the capital's cultural life, a vibrant hub of the contemporary art scene. Our aim in creating the Jurányi was to find a stable, shared home for the independent theatre and creative arts sector, providing the infrastructure necessary for its day-to-day operations. We wanted to create a cultural centre in the Buda area, a "contemporary art house" where theatre-loving young people could spend a few hours over a coffee or even a theatre performance, a creative children's activity or an acrobatic movement class, thus re-filling the abandoned educational institution with an active community life. Jurányi is more than just a theatre in Buda, it is a creative and creative base where visitors can enjoy a varied artistic, community, and educational program, in addition to a regular repertoire of 300 productions a year. We are proud that the Jurányi House is now a graduation subject in some art schools.
