Child of the Moose
After Ervin, a wealthy young man from Buda, loses his life in a moose-related accident, his close friends decide to honor his memory. Even if Ervin wouldn’t want them to. Even if Ervin might not actually be dead. Even if they have to kill him.
A profit-driven musical injustice set in a distorted version of 2000s Budapest, during the golden age of radio phones, when the Westend’s gargoyle fountain was still a big deal, and so were aerobics and lying. A time when brotherly love, AIDS, sacred theater, and foolishness were in fashion. When it was still worth pretending to be someone other than who you were. When it was frowned upon to prefer life in an ice crevasse over the company of your best friends.

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.
