PARENTS' MEETING
Where is the border between dictatorship and organised school system?
Where is the border between adult and child?
The third grade got a new teacher. Ildikó Palóc, a young woman with alternative pedagogical principles, is a firm believer in acceptance and democracy, against frontal teaching and authoritarian pedagogy. Unfortunately, however, not all parents are open to new values, some of them are difficult and ironic in the middle of a parents' meeting! Ildiko is frustrated by this attitude, so she is forced to resort to tougher measures: okay, if the parents can't handle themselves, then a group, a group, a group, a group...!!!! But soon all hell breaks loose and Ildiko is out of control. There is nothing left to do but to call in the Headmaster to put things in order...
Schedule
The audience - hopefully high school students and their parents - experience together how a dictatorship slowly, almost imperceptibly, builds up around them, in which they are treated as children unable to make decisions, and in which they soon become children unable to make decisions.
The play raises important psychological and social questions, such as:
Why do we become terrified when, as adults, we have to sit back in the classroom again?
Is real reform possible where nothing has changed in the mind?
Where is the line between dictatorship and organised schooling?
Where is the border between adult and child?

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.
