SALEM - theatrical board game
Let's not talk about witches who don't exist.
All hell breaks loose in a peaceful little community when a group of young girls are accused of attempted murder and poisoning. They claim that all their actions were influenced by external forces. Suspicion, fear, and mistrust quickly disrupt the peace of the village.
Who could be responsible for the spate of deaths? Who would benefit from the untimely demise of the village's respected elders? Could the community known for its harmony and love be hiding secrets beneath the surface?
Schedule
Those responsible must be found before the community takes the law into its own hands. Outsiders arrive to uncover the truth and name the guilty parties. A court is formed to find the evil one who, according to them, has crept in among them. However, their identity may not be as clear-cut as they first thought.
But can the will of the crowd be stopped with reason and logic? Can an individual go against the will of the community? Is there such a thing as clear-cut truth, or does every judgment carry with it a grain of doubt?
Salem is a theatrical board game that takes you into the world of medieval witch trials. The performance examines the mechanisms of peer pressure, gossip, and collective fear through a court case. The audience are active participants in the story throughout. As members of the court, they can make decisions and vote on how the story unfolds. The fate of the defendants depends entirely on their verdict.
Based on Arthur Miller, Panna Horváth and Zsófi Kocsonya: Salem - theatrical board game, based on Arthur Miller's drama The Crucible.

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.
