“I keep running this round, these five years if I’m still alive, and after that I’m sure I’ll stop,” said Gábor Máté, director of the Katona József Theater, who was recently appointed to the theater for another five years in the video Cool Story Bro. as director.

As for the reasons for his decisions in the video, he said: “If my guess is that I may not be able to connect well with young people because I don’t understand what they are saying, often maybe not what they will be asked, then I have to stop. ” He added that he does not want to take the place away from young people, and that “honestly, it is not that good.”

Politics has become so ingrained in Hungarian cultural life that there is nothing good about it. In fact, I admire those who think of directing a theater. This is an impossible situation in Hungary today

The director also spoke about the University of Theater and Film Arts (SZFE); here soon, already in the first days of September, he resigned in protest at the change of model. “If I stay there, I will go crazy. Whoever is involved in this only takes care of that, because it unites everything, but for me it is my business: I am the director of the Katona József Theater, and I cannot do these two things at the same time ”, he said about this. .

In the video, he also talked about the fact that he does not plan to teach any more at the Freeszfe Association, which also has the resigned instructors, to promote the spirit of SZFE.

I stopped, I mean, I stopped teaching, and I thought if I said I would stop, I would really stop. I have a relationship with my students, but not with the school, not with the newly established board of directors, not with the so-called Freeszfe.

Speaking of the epidemic, he said, they calculated a lot, “how long we will endure this situation,” and finally came to the conclusion that they could take it out until the fall, even without income.
