The words of Hassan Machnaou, director of OThéâtre – GEC Marrakech from Maroc after 3 days in Pécs:
"Notre aventure en Hongrie au Janus festival est une autre expérience dans notre parcours artistique très riche. C’est la première fois que nous participons à un festival universitaire en Hongrie après plusieurs participations internationales en Europe.
Nous avons effectué un voyage très long, qui nous a permis de découvrir un pays charmant, avec beaucoup de verdure et une architecture splendide de la ville de Pécs, dont les couleurs éblouissantes suivant le changement de la lumière du jour et de nuit. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le Janus Festival de Pécs qui privilégie un esprit de rencontres, de débats et d’échanges. Différentes cultures ont pu se rencontre à travers la pratique du théâtre. Ces Rencontres traitent des enjeux de diversité culturelle, à travers notamment les échanges artistiques et culturels programmés tout au long de la semaine. Elles interrogent l’apport de ces échanges à la construction du vivre ensemble. Avec ces échanges culturels, ce festival est un grand évènement. Une telle diversité pendant 5 jours, est du prodige!

14. June 2022.
First day of Janus Festival.
The romanian group arrived by train-quite a long journey from Iasi. Our volunteers showed them the Calvary Hill, so they could look down on the city.They couldn't have had better weather for sightseeing! :-)

Dear Festival Members!
The other jury, Nóra Juhász present herself:
"I was born in Budapest in 1993, and studied Painting and Stage Design at Hungarian University of Fine Arts; in 2018 I attended Visual Arts BA at Université Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris as a Campus Mundi scholar. I started working in theatres in 2014; since then, I have taken part in numerous projects as a set-, and costume designer ranging from experimental studio performances to large-scale shows both with alternative groups and traditional theatres like Örkény István Színház and Katona József Színház. A very important part of my practice is my collaboration with MáSzínház, an inclusive theatre that provides workshops and creates performances with actors living with disability. Besides my work in theatre I lead my independent projects as a contemporary visual artist; my creations of different disciplines from stage design to painting or video are all characterized by playfulness, irony, and strong spatiality."

Dear Festival Members!
Let us introduce the jury:
"I am a theatre director and dramaturg from Budapest, Hungary. As a dramaturg, I worked with Balázs Benő Fehér, Martin Boross, Dániel Kovács D., Viktor Bodó, and in Vígszínház Budapest. As a director, I mostly have worked with contemporary texts such as Péter Esterházy’s Rubens and the non-euclidean women, Wolfram Lotz’s The Ridiculous Darkness, or Annie Baker’s Circle Mirror Transformation. Maybe because of my dramaturg background, I’m very interested in discovering the possibilities of unconventional texts and post-dramatic pieces. I’m working with artists who are trying to communicate through these weird stories in an honest and intimate way so they and the text can find a way to the audience."
