Founded in 2002 and working with a permanent company and associated artists, Maladype Theatre is a so-called 'independent theatre', whose company is supported exclusively from competitive sources. Its 'independence', however, is not only a matter of its organisational format, but also of its spiritual quality and its ideas about theatre. It is thanks to this, that Maladype has remained over the years a company always capable of re-drafting itself, finding new niches, making use of new ideas, and which regards constant change as a natural process of theatre-making. It deliberately looks for unexpected opportunities presented by theatrical and non-theatrical space, for unconventional acting solutions and those immediate spectator reactions which are free of traditional theatrical expectations and classical forms of behaviour.
Discovering the fragile beauty of the one-word-poem Tojáséj (Eggs(H)ell) by the Hungarian poet Sandor Weöres and choosing it as the Hungarian title, the members of Maladype company define their relations (to each other and to themselves) without words in the natural language of our everyday plays. Innocent and innocent-looking games follow each other.
Spirit and joie de vivre pour from the music of Ravel, and during the play the invisible theatre of everyday life also becomes visible.

director: Zoltán BALÁZS
The string of epic scenes without specific stories but with full of content, which impart different ancient behaviour and relationship-patterns, the smooth choreography were born in the mind of Zoltán Balázs, the wonder-working director drunk on dream-world nectars.
