Béla Pintér and Company

KaisersTv, Ungarn

Ignác Baráznay, a pivotal figure of our story, is an invented character. Generally referred to as "Lion of Sukoró" by the Hungarians, he is an adored martyr of Hungarian Independence War, the national freedom fight staged against the Habsburg rule in 1848—1849. Thirty-three years after Baráznay's unclear death, his daughter Amalia — during a peculiar transcendent journey in which anything can happen —finds herself back in 1848 only to be employed by the then already working Austrian Imperial Television. Little by little, it becomes revealed to her that her father was nothing of the well-deserved national hero or the one she imagined him to be.

MUCK

She who is not loved never knows precisely why she is 'little' loved. She blames the injustice on the world, or on people's apathy, whereas in fact everyone avoids her because of her stunted emotional intelligence, her selfishness and narrow-mindedness. And avoid her is what they certainly do. They are not keen to speak to her. To be unloved is hellish agony. One's brow furls, one clenches one's teeth, one's hands tighten into fists. At such times she is most dangerous. She, who is not loved.

Pintér Béla and Company has its first time in Katlan this year, with two plays right away. The ensemble is recognized as one of the most significant and inventional creative workshop in Hungary.
