MEDIATHEK

One of the most impressive success stories in Hungarian private theatre working outside of the traditional repertory system is the one of Tibor Orlai. Originally a businessman in the medical field, he started managing and producing theater in the mid-90’s. Gradually building up his own company from traveling vaudeville shows to receiving the Critics Prize four times, he became a central force in modernizing the Hungarian theater system, with several of his productions running successfully for years. At the moment he has several productions playing nationally and internationally and he always keeps an eye on the freshest commercial and arthouse pieces to introduce to the Hungarian audience. By consciously supporting young and progressive independent theatre artists and groups he also serves as an important investor in the future of Hungarian theatre.
