Between October and April, the theatre will perform plays from Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Slovakia, Fekete said. The programme is a departure from last season, when the theatre performed works by nine contemporary Hungarian playwrights, he added.
In October, the theatre will show Gogol's The Inspector directed by the Ukrainian Stanislav Mojsejev. Slovakian culture will be in the spotlight in November, when the theatre performs a piece written and directed by Ivan Holub. Drago Jancar's Hallstatt will come to the stage in December and Ivo Andric's Ashka and the Wolf in January. Other Serbian guest productions can also be seen in January.
The Austrian director Dorothy Szalma will come to Békescsaba with Werner Schwab's The Presidents in February. In March, Tahir Mujicic, Boris Senker and Nino Skrabe's "large-scale musical trip back in time" Baron Trenk will come from Croatia. The season will close with a piece from Romania: Ion Luca Caragiale's The Lost Letter, directed by Laurian Leontin Oniga.
In addition to the plays, the theatre will organise other cultural events, such as readings, concerts, exhibitions and film screenings, that focus on a different one of the neighbouring countries each month.
