The legacy
Figs Production
There is a shortage of doctors in Hungary.
Hungary has a shortage of children.
A young paediatrician returns to Borsod from Germany after the death of his mother. He inherits the pediatric practice from his mother, but he does not want to keep the inheritance. While sorting out the affairs of the practice, he becomes suspicious that his mother was more than just a kindly doctor. She must face up to what she really inherited when she was left with the population of the Hungarian countryside in need of medical care.

After two films written and directed by Mihály Schwechtje, which were released in Hungarian cinemas in 2018, he now tells a story about today's Hungary in the theatre. His short film Aki h hid, aki nem nem (Who Hid, Who Didn't) depicted the activities of child traffickers in an impoverished Hungarian village, while his first feature film, I Hope Next Time You'll Die , gave an insight into the emotions and anxieties of today's teenagers. The Legacy is the director's own play, in which a young paediatrician returning from abroad is confronted with the invalidity of traditional values such as decency and humanity in the area where his former paediatrician mother lives.

Jurányi House
The Jurányi Production Community Incubator House has become a key venue in the capital's cultural life, a vibrant hub of the contemporary art scene. Our aim in creating the Jurányi was to find a stable, shared home for the independent theatre and creative arts sector, providing the infrastructure necessary for its day-to-day operations. We wanted to create a cultural centre in the Buda area, a "contemporary art house" where theatre-loving young people could spend a few hours over a coffee or even a theatre performance, a creative children's activity or an acrobatic movement class, thus re-filling the abandoned educational institution with an active community life. Jurányi is more than just a theatre in Buda, it is a creative and creative base where visitors can enjoy a varied artistic, community, and educational program, in addition to a regular repertoire of 300 productions a year. We are proud that the Jurányi House is now a graduation subject in some art schools.
