7 NAP – 4 HELYSZÍN – 27 PROGRAM
Ráday Street Theater Meeting
RUSZT is a joint festival of Itt és Most Társulat, Stúdió K, MáSzínház, Pinceszínház and VerShaker. Originally, the reopening after the pandemic called for this collaboration, then we started the season together under the name ReStart Fest in the fall of 2021. In 2022, RUSZT became a certified festival (Hungarian Festival Association), and in 2023 it was put on the international festival map, with Irish and Portuguese guest speakers. We received the EFFE Label, which is a certification seal of the European Festivals Association (EFA), which can be awarded to European festivals that are committed to the arts and participation, community cohesion and international openness.
In 2024, the focus of the festival is on change, as we perceive that cultural consumption habits, the possibilities and tasks of art are undergoing transformation. On the one hand, we accept the circumstances caused by external factors and react to them; on the other hand, we also consider the effort to trigger change to be our mission. RUSZT encourages creators and receivers alike to connect and search for new paths.

Togetherness
During the 7 days of the festival, a colorful all-arts program awaits the visitors, in addition to the own performances of the organizing theaters with guest performers, fine arts, literary and musical events. With workshops and art sessions, we encourage visitors to be open, dialogue and creative.
We look forward to seeing you!

Who fills the RUSZT?
Here and Now Társulat Art Foundation
One of the main activities of Itt és Most Társulat is improvisation. Operation of Here and Now Theater and Community Square.
In improvisation, we develop and utilize basic values such as listening to each other, acceptance, and openness.
At our improvisation evenings, we build on the ideas of the audience. We take the stage in any form, in-depth workshops and internal training support our game
Other Theatre
The members of the MáSzínház troupe are intellectually disabled young adults, volunteer helpers and theater professionals. In our joint work, the educational process preceding it is equally important as the presentation. Our drama games are aimed at building people, their task is to shape personality, make contact, maintain contact, and facilitate communication.
The word drama means: to do, to act. It follows from its meaning that it demands active participation and action from all players. The participants turn from passive observers into active, shaping and changing players who become able to communicate to society with their own way of self-expression, which is worthwhile and even important to know about them.
The basis of the pedagogical and artistic work that has been going on at MáSzínház since 2005 is that we do not consider our intellectually disabled members to be pitiful creatures. Rather, we treat them as individuals with their own talents and personalities – just like us medically healthy people.
Studio K Theatre
The name Studio K refers to constant change and change, continuous training, creativity, a critical workshop that experiments in the community, builds relationships, relentlessly searches for special conflicts, and curiously researches.
The great generation of Studio K toured the world with its performances, its activities are now teaching material, the oeuvre of its creators is significant, they themselves created theaters and schools.
