I step loudly and the Oktogon echoes

"Are we proud to own the world? And if it is ours, where do we take it? How far can we carry it? If we drop it, will it shatter or bounce back like a rubber ball? But what can I do, here, alone, trapped in such a bubble?"

The play is about the loss of freedom experienced by young people, the loss of coordinates they thought were secure, but that it was during the pandemics that they first really experienced it is now only a memory. The experience, however, transcends itself, plunging the here and now into eternal uncertainty. The authors of the play are the people affected, young people graduating from high school or starting university, who were stopped by the pandemic at perhaps the most important time in their lives, yet who have been enriched by countless spiritual, emotional and mental experiences.

Andrea Pass has directed a performance of these scenes, partly by the authors themselves and partly by professional young actors. Throughout the writing process, the students dug deeper and deeper, sometimes to shuddering heights, sensitively portraying the well-being of their generation. It is a world view that is emerging along a new paradigm, with characters who react with pain to social injustices, gestures that violate human dignity, characters who look out for each other and fragile fates.

"We're talking about a complex play written and produced by young people that should be toured in schools. But what we see goes beyond information. It's lyrical and boldly analytical, with a sparkling language and a full toolbox. Yet anyone can freely and safely join schoolchildren hiding from police in the nonsense of the Oktogon." Zsófia Kósa-Szigety (szinhaz.online)

Location

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.
