EGY ŐRÜLT NAPLÓJA
Based on a translation by József Czímer, Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol's "Petersburg narrative", "A Madman's Diary", directed by Viktor Bodó.
Schedule
Gogol's A Madman's Diary, a "Petersburg narrative", will be staged as a monodrama by Viktor Bodó. The protagonist of the story, a bureaucrat with an unstable sense of reality, is played by Tamás Keresztes, who is not the first person to play the lead role in a Bodó production, as it was the basis for the famous "Ledarálnakeltűntem" at the Katona József Theatre, which also presented the forced rampage of a helpless little man as an interesting parallel.
The script for the new version of Diary of a Madman is being prepared by comparing several translations with the original Russian copy. Alongside Tamás Keresztes, another important "player" in the production will be the loop, which will create the environment and atmosphere and will be used to create the music for the performance live. Are we crazy or is the world crazy around us? - is the story of Gogol's 1834, and the question is as relevant today as it was then.

The production was created in cooperation between Katona József Theatre, FÜGE Production, Orlai Production Office and Mask Association (Szeged).
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.
