Béla Pintér and Company

Our Secrets / Titkaink

  • Theatre
ca. 115 min (without respite)

Back to the Budapest of the ‘80s. The story takes place in one of those dance halls where Hungary’s rural folklore was being rediscovered and celebrated. In defiance of all contemporary reminiscing, Béla Pintér’s play does not cast any nostalgic look back but talks about how “our secrets” have come into the political reality of out time. It’s about former informants that became leaders; about villains and evildoers who managed to survive every political shift.              
Part of "Leaving is not an option? – Current artistic positions from Hungary"

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
