The second part of the Fathers and Sons trilogy

In 1978, József Holdosi published his novel "Kanyas", which led the author's grandfather to file a complaint against both the writer and the publisher. What can a writer reveal from their own community and life? And to what extent can artistic freedom be defended in the dock?

József says that this is fiction, that the novel is a figment of his imagination. Who is right? The story paints a picture of a family that is self-destructive, disintegrating, and carrying generational curses.

Horváth Kristóf/Színész Bob

Short description

Kristóf Horváth, known to many only as “Actor Bob”, examines the social and personal functioning of shame in his stand-up performance. It is both entertaining and deeply confrontational: with the help of humor and irony, he names typical situations that tell about the insecurity and fears behind social prejudices. A “Gypsy Window Giraffe” – a plain-language dictionary for coexistence, where the Roma perspective is not a goal, but a means for a shared journey of self-discovery.
