(Seine-Saint-Denis). Presented as part of the Standard ideal, the
great festival organized by the MC93, until February 13, the show
captures the life in Budapest, where, as one might imagine, a heavy
atmosphere, both cafardeuse and edgy, nimbus daily. See the
characters in the play, signed by Peter Karpati, an author-guest
director for the first time in France: they are confined in an
apartment poor, damp, whose floor is rotted by infiltration. It's a

from a legend, as a prophet who would come down from a train in
Budapest, and would see the world from one building to another. And
what he sees is a world that fears and distrusts. Peter Karpati
plays the proximity between actors and audience to get the message
sent to Hungary led by Viktor Orban.
His show is presented in a place that smells bad life: a
basement, made up of interconnecting caves, where the actors are
trapped in a space so narrow that their bodies en? Slow those
spectators, reduced to just fifty. It is a squat, converted into a
bar, and located just steps from Trafo, the most exciting place in
Budapest, who invited the show. And now finds itself at the heart
of a storm: the new cultural policy led by the Mayor dictated a
change of direction, which calls into question its future. Trafo,
you find Liliom Street, in a neighborhood a little eccentric.
Announced by a neon green, the place looks like a refuge on the
night of the city. It was built in a former electrical transformer
station, and contains an auditorium, an exhibition and a rehearsal.
Since opening in October 1998 is, by all accounts, the only place
in Hungary to practice a high level international programming in
theater and dance.

in February, as part of a festival time frame, which will present
the Italians Muta Imago and a show on racism against Roma in
Hungary ... But now, its director, Szabo Gy? Rgy, who created his
identity and secured his reputation, will not be renewed at the end
of his term in June. A choreographer, Yvette Bozik - who has been
invited several times in France - will succeed him. His appointment
caused a general anger: "Trafo, it was the last bastion. He fell,"
said Csaba Krall. As a dance critic, Krall could argue Yvette
Bozik. But, like many, he is dismayed by the arguments of the next
direction, which wants to highlight the Hungarian choreographers,
too little support, she says, by Szabo Gy? Rgy. "It's simple.
Today, just write in a project" I want to do something Hungarian
"to be appointed," said Peter Karpati, who wonders what will become
of the numerous troops of independent theater that could not live
without Trafo, especially in the current environment, where they
are severely threatened with losing their subsidies. If Trafo is
very revealing of the complex situation of culture in Hungary,
where political considerations and artistic issues intertwine.
There are both a little war between the theater and dance, a lot of
recognition, and a willingness of the authorities who want to
institutions at no nationalist. To ride the wave, some artists may
even lose their soul. Others, because they refuse to compromise,
are threatened by No.? Mage. This can be seen at the Theatre Uj
(New Theatre), passed suddenly in the grip of an extreme right
direction. Its current director, Istvan Marta, will hand February 1
Gy to the actor? Rgy OF rn. Mr. Marta had to be reappointed: 2 to 6
votes against, the committee charged with selecting candidates had
chosen. But the mayor of Budapest, Istvan Tarlos, used his veto
power to impose Gy? Rgy OF rn and Istvan Csurka, a neo-fascist
author. The latter has added so much in his anti-Semitic, since the
announcement of his appointment, he was eventually dismissed from
official duties at the theater. But it remains in the entourage of
Gy? Rgy OF rn. This one was a member of Jobbik, the far-right
party, before approaching Viktor Orban, and would rename the New
Theater "Theater of the hinterland", in homage to Hungary "deep".
In his letter of intent - where references to the need to end the
hegemony of the Jews in the culture appear veiled -, D? Rn
highlights "the true national values", which will result in
essentially a directory Hungarian. The choice of the takeover of
the New Theatre is symbolic. This Jugendstil building is in
downtown Budapest, just c? Tee of the Opera. Admittedly, this is
not an institution as prestigious as the Katona, world-renowned,
whose attack would have caused an international outcry. Eighty-six
people work at the New Theater, twenty actors. Two have already
announced they were leaving, and most of the technical and artistic
direction. This is the case of Kovacs Gy? Rgyi, the CFO. This young
30 year old woman, who worked with Arpad Schilling before joining
the New Theater, six years ago, rounds off the accounts and will go
in late February. "I voudraisrester in culture, but I'm not s? Re
finding a job, the situation is so difficult," she said. "We do not
understand, she says. The mayor assured us of his support. The
change of direction is not a business decision, but political." The
New Theatre has a hall seating 344, another 100, and it provides
260 performances a year. Istvan Marta has recasé, taking the lead,
from 1 February, a theater in Pecs, important city in southern
Hungary.

what price and how? This is the question in Hungary today.
