Gruber is a normal 16-year-old growing up in Budapest in 1962, but he has a problem -- how does he get to know the opposite sex? At the Sunday afternoon dance classes the young "ladies and gentlemen" hold each other while dancing, and that makes the lessons worth something. Otherwise, the pianist's attention wanders and the orchestra does not exactly play with a single-minded dedication. In fact, everybody seems to have other things on their minds, except for the enthusiastic dance instructor and his ever-smiling assistant.

Dumaszínház: Nekünk áll a László - Hadházi László önálló estje(hu)

What is the point of trolling? Can sport be replaced by humour? Was there life before mobile? Would women be better men or would men be better women? What good is a flag when the wind is not blowing? These questions are not answered in Hadházi's new solo show, but at least it's something to laugh about. We'll take László.

The Gypsy Baron(de)

In the Temesvar Province, a landowner returned from exile marries a gypsy girl who is revealed to be the daughter of a Turkish Pasha and the rightful owner of a hidden treasure. Next to "Die Fledermaus", DER ZIGEUNERBARON is Johann Strauss’s most popular operetta. The libretto gave Strauss the chance to revel in such contrasting musical forms as the Csárdás and the Viennese waltz. The style of the lied forms and ensembles is so original and finely balanced that the "Gypsy Baron" can truly be called a comic opera. Among the leading names of the stellar cast in this exuberant 1975 film of the operetta are Wolfgang Brendel, Ivan Rebroff, Janet Perry, Ellen Shade, Martha Mödl and, in the role that launched his career, Siegfried Jerusalem as Sándor Barinkay.

Lassan Mondom El - Hajdú Balázs önálló estje(hu)

Balázs Hajdú's solo evening gives us a peek into the life of the youngest member of the Svetes humor mafia, which is made really exciting and personal by his childhood photos, his diary written as a teenager, and photoshop pictures he took himself. In addition to all this, his performance includes a love test, stand-up comedy and other improvisations. All you have to do is buy your tickets quickly and then get a good night's sleep, because everyone needs a rested brain to receive the right quality of reception. By his own admission, his first solo night was so self-contained that he was alone in the room, but it was so well done that word quickly got out about his excellent atmosphere. After the huge successes of Harry Potter and Twilight, here's I'll say it slowly.

Humor sapiens, a felegyenesedés hátrányai - Kiss Ádám önálló estje(hu)

A kis utazás(hu)

Wake Up, Mate, Don't You Sleep(hu)

This time, Kapa and Pepe are first of all prisoners of war – and convicts taken to forced labor service, Jews, Hungarian soldiers, German soldiers. Once they are to be executed, then again they are to perform executions. The film tells in spectacular episodes about the fact that in the past more than one century and a half we kept marching from war to war; occupation and liberation turned out to be indifferent, and why couldn’t the Jews execute the SS-guys? Our heroes hover about dilapidated barracks, then again on the bridges of the capital they guess whose satellites or eternal friends for all times we might be just now. In the cupboard, among the preserved fruit bottles, Stalin is still hiding. The authors of the film are cited before court, then in a showcase hospital they are waiting for the end to come. A Soviet soldier-maid closes the film with a Péter Nádas-quote.

Dumaszínház: Ősök és utódok - Kovács András Péter önálló estje(hu)

One man stands up in front of many people and speaks his joys and sorrows. What is this if not therapy? Yes. It is. András Péter Kovács breaks down inhibitions, sheds tears, brings relief and liberation. He does all this under the spell of family experiences and problems. The stakes are not small. One man's life through one man's life. From birth to the final goodbye. The oft-heard phrases we hate as children, use as parents, criticise as grandparents. "As long as you eat my bread...", "But at my age...", "I don't want to interfere, but...", "That won't get you anywhere with me...". Human games in the family as a child and as an adult, as seen through the eyes of a comedian who is a child, husband, father and relative. Pereputty, or emotional rollercoaster in the family circle.
