The play follows Miklós Csányi, a cultural manager who opens a new regional heritage house (tájház) in the town of Szabadszállás. Faced with a critical and morally compromising decision involving figures tied to the current political system, Miklós is sent on a surreal journey through the labyrinth of his own conscience.

The company was founded in 1998 under the leadership of Béla Pintér, who stages his own plays and frequently performs in them as an actor.

It is the artists’ intention to create contemporary productions based on critical-ironic observations of society and themselves. The surreal world which generally characterises their productions is constructed from a combination of reality and dream, of authentic and kitsch, and from sundry elements of Hungarian culture. Thanks to their success, the company is nowadays regarded as one of the most significant and most inventive creative workshops.
