Édouard Louis:
WHO KILLED MY FATHER
"If this were a theatrical text, it would begin with these words: a father and a son stand a few metres apart in a vast, empty space. This space could be a wheat field, an abandoned and deserted factory, a school sports field. Maybe it is snowing. Maybe the snow is slowly covering them, making them disappear. The father and son almost never look at each other. Only the boy speaks, his first sentences appear illuminated on a sheet of paper or a screen, he tries to address his father, to talk to him, but he doesn't know why, the father doesn't seem to understand him. They are close, yet they cannot find each other. Sometimes their skin touches, they make contact, but even then, in these moments, they remain distant. The fact that the son is the only one who speaks is painful for both of them: the father is deprived of the opportunity to tell his own life story, and the son is waiting for an answer he will never get."
Édouard Louis
Édouard Louis's autobiographical novel reveals, through fragments of memories, the relationship between the writer and his father: their struggles to understand and accept each other, and to live and show their love for each other. The author defines the text as a collection of love letters to his father, or rather a novel about why it is so difficult to say I love you to each other. Who Killed My Father is an intimate story, yet it focuses on the political context and social responsibility. The production attempts to combine puppetry with contemporary dance, chorus with political manifestos and personal testimonies from the creators.
Based on the book QUI A TUE MON PERE by Édouard Louis.

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.
