ÖrkényKÖZ

We believe that theater can effectively contribute to building a creative, conscious, solidarity-based world.

One of our goals is to pose questions in an artistic manner during this especially impressionable time and to provide stories and realisations in the quest for answers. We wish to show that theatre is a place where, for an entire life, the viewer can encounter something of what is generally lost when we become adults.

Launched in recent years, ÖrkényKÖZ - Youth Division and Creative Workshop, has put theatre to work. More than 1300 youths have participated in its programs, with the cooperation of staff from practically all aspects of theatre.

The focus of our method is a deeper appreciation of the atre (this millennia-old social and artistic phenomenon) and the development of “how to see” from a theatrical perspective. Our main artistic goal is to spur imagination and creative vision, since anything could come of that.

If a theatre provides space for the public – if it offers them active participation through conversations, involvement or even draws them into creative processes – then it fills a fundamental societal function. It works as a social forum, where issues that have a significant bearing on the viewers’ lives come under examination.
