The Pretenders

Jean-Luc Lagarce's comedy is a choral work for seventeen voices. The seventeen actors are almost constantly present on stage, and as with Chekhov, the real conflicts take place below the apparent uneventful surface. A misspoken word, a bitten half-sentence, a few clichés or cynical comments cause the erupting crisis, the banality of which is laughable and deplorable.

The director is being replaced in a rural cultural institution: the old director's farewell and the inauguration of the new director are in progress. Here is the representative of the ministry, the cultural manager of the local government, the old director and his colleagues who are afraid of being fired, and here is also the new, young director, with a friend whose role is still unclear. The board of directors helplessly follows the events, no one asks for their approval. Strangely enough, almost everyone's spouse accompanies them to the ceremony, and we slowly realize that this public-funded institution is actually a family business, whose turbulent waters are also ruffled by personal storms.

Jean-Luc Lagarce (1957-1995) is a French playwright and director, founder of the Théâtre de la Roulotte. He wrote about 25 plays, which he mainly put on stage himself. Today he is one of the most played contemporary authors in France. The long-awaited premiere in Hungary, the translation of the play, was made for the Örkény Theater.
The performance was created with the permission of the heirs of Jean-Luc Lagarce. Hungarian stage rights: Hofra Theater and Literary Agency. Róbert Bognár's license was mediated by Hofra Kft.

Our offer


Iván Fischer was requested by the Berlin Konzerthaus to compose an opera for children based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s world-famous picture book, The Gruffalo. The humorous opera now premieres in Hungary in translation by Ádám Nádasdy. The production is recommended for children between the ages of 3 and 10.

In the BFO’s early music concert, ethereal dance movements alternate with arias about burning passion.

In November, the concert hall of Müpa Budapest will be filled with spring birdsong.
