The DESzínház is an opportunity of a lifetime
The summer program was varied, in addition to the usual theater performances, concerts, and street art day, this year DESzínház also organized outdoor film screenings on the square at Batthyány utca 24. DESz24 gave the main space to yoga sessions, dance meditation, stand-up in English, and they even had time to participate in an international university theater meeting in Pécs, the article of the university news portal pointed out.
– When we received the DESz24 playground and space from the city, at first there were mostly our own programs on the program, but now the range of performers has expanded, as we have hosted professional performers such as Ibolya Mészáros, Klári Varga, or Tamás Nagy, the singer and guitarist of Neonhal, which is why university citizens – students, lecturers, workers – can also get introduction opportunities, said a hirek.unideb.huto Zsigmond Lakó.
The director of the Art Center of the Faculty of Arts (BTK) of the University of Debrecen (DE), the head of the troupe, introduced the summer programs and highlighted the performances of the musicians of SixPack among the concerts, and among the novelties the Film Club organized jointly with Apolló Mozi, where you could see the “Before” trilogy audience over three evenings, and the series of screenings was enriched by a round table discussion with the participation of film critic Anna Kata Váró.
– Of course, we wouldn’t be able to exist without the support of the university, and we wouldn’t be able to allow the public to visit our programs free of charge, but the municipality of Debrecen and the Csokonai Theater also help a lot, so we can feel lucky that so many people consider us worthy of the kind of help they can get. our work – emphasized Zsigmond Lakó.
Of course, the series of programs does not end with the summer, since at the same time as the start of the academic year, three courses (one in Hungarian and two in English) deal with students, from which those talented and hardworking young people will be able to come out and join the company.

The latter is an almost unrepeatable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since every four years Monaco is the host, and every four years a different city applying for the arrangement is the host, so we can say that we have been given the opportunity of a lifetime
– pointed out the director.
The next challenge is now September 22-25. between 2018 and 2018, the company is waiting for the company in Stuttgart, where they will perform the English-language production The Universal as part of the AMAFEST – International Amateur Theater Festival.

Returning to Stuttgart: the team is very honored to be invited, thanks to the recommendation of the national Hungarian Theater Association. It is a great virtue that, almost unique in our country, we are able to create a performance in English, and also that in their case “amateur” means that – since they are current and graduated students of our university – no one is a professional actor, but the performance itself holds its own among professionals the place – highlighted Zsigmond Lakó.
