' The Queen Of The Cookies', SzkénéTheater Budapest, 27 January
"The company was founded in 1998 under the leadership of Béla Pintér, who stages his own plays and takes part in the performances as an actor. It is the artists’ intention to bring into being contemporary theatrical works based on critical-ironic observations of society and their own selves.

Starts at 8pm in Hungarian with English surtitles

 The surreal world which generally characterises their performances is constructed from a combination of reality and dream, of authentic and kitsch, and from sundry elements of Hungarian culture. Thanks to their successes, the company is nowadays reckoned as one of the most significant and most inventive creative workshops.

Violence in the family -- this is something commonly reported on in the papers, in TV or Radio programmes.

‘That's probably very grim!’, those few lucky ones say to themselves who only heard about such things happening to people they don't know. Hearing about this, however, a majority reacts by their stomach made to rise with childhood nightmare recalled or with a parent's remorse.


Our protagonist is 7-year-old Erika Kosár. She’s the one to be loved. She’s the one to be supported by you. She’s the one to win.” Béla Pintér."
