The Osonó Theatre is a theatrical initiative that would like to provide adequate circumstances for contemporary theatrical experiments. Beyond creating performances, we tend to educate and launch dialogue with our audience, with the purpose to inspire them for searching their place in the society, as creative and responsible humans. The Osonó Theatre creates theatrical shows, organizes workshops and trainings for youngsters and adults. Through educational and social projects we deliver an intense experience of self-discovery and facilitate connection with others.

We presented our performances in the big cities of the world, from Bangkok to Hamburg, but also in numerous villages of Transylvanian (part of Romania, where lives a large Hungarian minority), especially in diasporas. Osonó received more than 30 national and international prizes. In 2016 we were selected as the National winner of the European Charlemagne Youth Prize for our 2015th projects, which promoted mutual understanding amongst European youngsters. In 2012 the Hungarian National Ministry of Resources awarded the theater with the Csokonai Vitéz Mihály Community Prize, which is the highest acknowledgement in the category of independent theatre amongst Hungarian speaking territories. The award was handed to Osonó Theatre for its outstanding cultural and educational activity.

On international tours the setting is carried by the troupe in their minivan and built at the hosting place of the partners, by the actors and technicians. The audience is invited by the hosting partner, assuring that all segment of the local population is present. No entrance fee is asked, only donations are accepted, which provides the team the minimal substantial transportation and food costs till the next destinations. The Osonó Theatre’s artistic staff consists of young volunteers; young adult actors, high school students, international volunteers. They are driven by a common goal: to map the recent social cases at issue and try to come up with alternative solutions, which are built into theatrical performances.

Founder and leader from 1993 to 1998: Salamon András. Leader from 1998: Fazakas Misi.
