We open the new season with Parallax

On 17 September, we open our 2026/27 season with a special performance: Parallax, a production by Proton Theatre that has enjoyed great success across Europe in recent years and will be presented in Hungary for the first time.

“One family, three generations. A small Budapest apartment. The grandmother refuses to accept the award she received as a Holocaust survivor; her daughter must prove her Jewish heritage in order to secure a place at a school for her son in their new home in Berlin; her adult son, a gay man, is searching for his own identity. They all share the same question: can we escape the fate we inherit? When is identity a privilege, and when is it a burden? Everything depends on perspective.”

Two new Katona productions in October

A Clockwork Orange

Based on Anthony Burgess’s novel of the same title, A Clockwork Orange is a live film and an audiovisual coming-of-age story. We follow Alex, a young man from a juvenile detention centre, through three stages of his journey: from unrestrained aggression, through state-enforced rehabilitation, to his return to society.

A Clockwork Orange is a story of crime, punishment and forgiveness, set in a world that is perhaps not as futuristic as it seems. The production is created by the Katona company in collaboration with the Budapest-based creative collective BudapestiSkizo.

Ödön von Horváth: Kasimir and Karoline

In the turbulent world of Kasimir and Karoline—whether the story is set in Germany in the 1920s or Hungary in the 2020s—the characters, pushed to the margins of society, are all longing for a better life.

They are young, in love, jealous, humiliated and defiant. They separate and meet again, caught between hope and disappointment. They struggle to find their place in a world shaped by financial and emotional corruption, fear of an uncertain future and dreams that remain out of reach.
