Janus University Theatre (JESZ)


Our theatre was established in 1996 and belongs to the University of Pécs. 

Since 1997, it has participated at the most prominent alternative theatre festivals in Hungary, and its productions have won several prices. Since 1999, the theatre has been present on the international scenes as well, visiting Germany, Begium, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia and Turkey. 

The company comprised of university students has become more and more experienced by the intensive work over the years, but senior actors (amateurs and professionals alike) also strengthen the group. The theatre has always been lead by many stage directors. Probably this made it possible for the company to remain independent, and capable of conducting its continuous work in different theatrical styles.

Generations follows generations, but JESZ maintains its high standards. We have been organizing the University Theatre Festival since 1999, and since 2005 we have been participating in the program of Summer Open Air Theatre Festival in Pécs, annually presenting our work to the audience of the city, too. 

In 2011 it moved to its final place, to an up-to-date studio at Zsolnay Cultural Quarter.
