Northern Theatre Harag György Company

The initiating theatre is a process of learning which aims to familiarize the audience with theatrical language. In other words, it initiates the audience into the world of theater and teaches it to read and observe the little signs, symbols founded in the plays. The signs, lights, sound, costumes, scenery, props, gestures, actors' mimics and their interventions forms a whole which cannot be observed by the uninitiated ones. Taking into account all these,  we can say that this kind of performance is useful even for those who are already initiated into the world of theater being able to discover other, much deeper, issues of the performances. The purpose of this performance is the formation of the audience and, also , the development of its theatrical taste.
