DEATH IN VENICE
Orlai Production Office - Füge Produkció
presented by JÁNOS KULKA
A man moves between snowy mountains in a hotel room. The conductor prepares for the evening concert with his usual routine. Minutes pass, he waits patiently for the taxi. Time passes more slowly and no one comes to pick him up. The comforting, cosy solitude of the past is becoming increasingly alien to him - something has changed.
In 2006, János Kulka gave an audiobook reading of Thomas Mann's novel Death in Venice, in which an elderly professor on a trip to Venice is confronted with a hitherto hidden side of his personality that forces him to confront his life.
The production experiments with different theatrical genres: performance, sound play and monodrama, in which life, theatre and literature are inextricably intertwined and enter into a unique relationship.
János Kulka is a concept for generations. He is an artist in his own right, with an unmistakable style and charisma. He is 58 years old when everything in his life changes overnight. For the first time since the events, he takes to the stage as a soloist.

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.
