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!

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.

VerShaker

A poem is like a good cocktail. Shaken, not stirred. One component is the text of the poem, another is the personality of the reader, the third is the surrounding world in which he is reading, the fourth is the mood in which he finds himself, the fifth is the problem that worries him, the sixth is his love, whether he loves or has just thrown it away, the seventh is his pulse, breathing, his mental hygiene, eighth is the figure of the poet who wrote the poem, if the reader knows about it at all, and the very language in which he wrote the poem, ninth is some sleepy literature lessons, tenth is a memory of another poem with a similar message, and many, many other sweet , bitter, astringent, salty or sour ingredient. Shaken, not stirred. Not the text of the poem, not the poet, not the reader, something completely different: a new state of matter, a new color, a new smell, a new taste and a new effect. Always here and always now.
