Béla Pintér Jászai Mari Award winning actor, musician, writer and director is one of the main figures of the Hungarian alternative theatre life. He is a truly unique theatre personality who since establishing his own theatre, writes his own plays, directs them and takes part in them. Success after success, the theatre has become one of Hungary’s most important and most inventive workshops. Dramatic and entertaining plays built on the classical drama tradition, but born out of the critical-ironic observations of Hungary’s present society, which make the performances relevant and original.
