Its launch in 1994 was glorious and full of hope. It was an independent organization set out to finance culture. It was gradually subjugated, then engulfed by the ministry, by power.

A DOOR Svetlana Alexievich: Secondhand / Örkény Theatre

CLICK TO CONTINUE The Day of Fury – Krétakör / Trafó
A drop in the ocean, pars pro toto, a lot of ordinary people, a clichéd story, reality, Shaw – or what you will, and what you won’t.

Neither the witness, nor the victim is shown clemency. REVIEW BY JUDIT CSÁKI.
