On May 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM, the Simándy Hall of the Balaton Theater (Balaton Színház) in Keszthely (8360, Fő tér 3) will host Boszorkánykonyha (Witch’s Kitchen), a playful object-and-puppet show by Batyu Theater (Batyu Színház). Tickets: 3,000 HUF. Running time: 40–45 minutes. It’s a lively, laughter-sprinkled trip where everyday kitchen tools turn into storybook stars—and yes, even a spoon or dish towel can become a hero if we let them speak.
A Kitchen That Starts Telling Tales
What happens when the kitchen wakes up? The salt shaker wanders off, the pot starts storytelling, and the spoons won’t stop chatting. Ingredients morph into characters: salt, pepper… a little ox; pot, spoon… a royal couple; dish towel, demijohn… the cat’s hangover! Take a deep breath, blow it out, and remember: let objects do what they’re meant for—just don’t let that salt shaker stray.
Classic Stories, Fresh Mischief
Beloved tales come alive with wit and imagination, including Zsigmond Móricz’s Iciri-piciri, Hungarian Folk Tales (Magyar népmesék): The Bear and the Cat (A medve és a macska) and Stone Soup (Kőleves), plus Elek Benedek’s Salt (A só). The cast features Nelli Kontha and Krisztina Borbély, with music by Péter Csák, puppets by Csilla Vizi, and props by Nicolette Aranyos. Directed by Nelli Kontha.
