Drive
Since the 1990s there has been a growing presence of German automotive corporations in Hungary, while the car industry itself has become a core symbol of the highly complex capitalist system. It shapes all of our lives. The assembly line never stops, the pace keeps increasing, and our performance is continuously being optimised. Every two minutes, a car leaves the factory; every two months, a new theatre production premieres. Consumption creates jobs that further fuel consumption, while the gap between social classes continues to widen.
Schedule
An actor and two union workers from two German premium car factories operating in Hungary turn their gaze toward this structure. Three personal stories that now intersect. In this state of constant acceleration, could it already be an act of solidarity and resistance to take time to get to know one another—and to imagine ourselves in someone else’s position?
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.
