Füge Produkció - Szentendre Theatre
Schedule
On November 7, 1944, 23-year-old Hanna Szenes was shot dead in the Margit körút prison on November 7, 1944, before her trial was over. Her life and poetry are known worldwide, yet in her own country, and almost unknown in Hungary. Was he a spy, a poet, a freedom fighter or a national hero? Behind Hanna's poems, her diary, and the recollections of her mother and comrades, we discover the story of a girl who had the courage to leave Budapest in search of a better life. She lived at a time when war was a reason for the crushing of human dignity, for indifference, for bloodshed; she wanted to build a new country in Palestine with her own hands. He was willing to make a sacrifice: he returned to occupied Hungary as a member of a secret parachute corps to prevent the deportation of his fellow countrymen. His story is an untold past of loss and courage, a living present. For only those who are forgotten die.

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.
