Krétakör

Krétakör (Chalk Circle) is a centre for contemporary art forms in Budapest and was founded in 1995 by Árpád Schilling. As artistic director, he regularly develops pieces with his legendary ensemble, such as “W-Workers’ Circus” after Georg Büchner’s “Woyzeck” or “The Seagull” by Anton Chekhov, with which Krétakör became one of the most innovative voices in the European theatrical landscape. Since 2008 the platform no longer concentrates on dramatic works with actors, but on developing projects with young people and non-professionals, also outside Budapest. With this work they seek to react to social and political conflicts. The Production “Krízis – triógia, III: A papnö” (“Crisis – Trilogy, III: The Priestess”) with young people under the direction of Árpád Schilling was seen in 2012 at the Vienna Festwochen and in 2013 at the Augenblick mal! Festival in Berlin.
