The Berliner Ensemble justified their move in a statement.
We are watching with great amazement the latest developments on the Budapest theater scene. The transfer of management positions from the renowned University of Theater and Film Arts to the recently created Foundation for Theater and Film Arts, close to the government, practically means the loss of the university’s autonomy.
– Thus begins the press release of the Berliner Ensemble on Friday night, which was published on the Facebook page of the SZFE student municipality. That once Helene Weigel and Bertolt Brecht founded a theater company also reported:
The Orbán government is taking another step towards the forced standardization of culture, this is reflected in the appointment of the director of the National Theater, Attila Vidnyánszky, as president of the Board, whose influence on the Hungarian theatrical profession is growing again. The transformation process, which took place without the participation of the old university leadership, is undemocratic in all respects.
Its end is recorded:
As a show of solidarity, the Berliner Ensemble today canceled the Medea guest game scheduled for next year in Attila Vidnyánszky led by the MITEM festival.
