Az Ágens Társulat and the Bikali Élményszínház are back at the Bikali Élménybirtok with a full slate of smart, playful, and sometimes acrobatic theater in 2025. For nearly a decade they’ve served up crowd-pleasing productions that marry bite with heart, and the new season keeps that streak alive. From relationship comedies and fatherhood confessionals to circus-infused witch trials and a Sancho-forward Don Quixote remix, the lineup invites couples, families, and curious minds to pick a night, pick a mood, and go all in. All shows take place in Bikal, with organizers reserving the right to change dates and programs.
Oct 31: A crash course in men, medieval-style
Úr-kurzus a tökös középkorból Zinával kicks off the fall run on October 31, a witty relationship piece designed as the partner show to Kurtizánképző. This time the spotlight lands on men, as couples are nudged—kindly and hilariously—toward understanding the richly mysterious terrain of women. The post-show refrain has become a mini-legend: viewers gush, I’d put this on prescription! Those already converted swear it sets couples on a path to real empathy and acceptance, packaged as a bold night out with spine and spark.
Nov 1: Salem burns in acrobatic fire
Salem – mozgás, cirkusz, boszorkányság draws on Arthur Miller’s The Crucible (Salemi boszorkányok), but with a kinetic twist: a movement-theater staging laced with circus atmosphere, aerial work, and acrobatics. A word-of-mouth favorite at the Devil’s Cauldron (Ördögkatlan) Festival, the show snagged a GOLD rating at RDT and sells out repeatedly in Pécs. The story channels real 17th-century America, where religious and political fanaticism fueled lethal witch trials. It roars at full voltage about morality, love, dictatorship, and human courage—Shakespearean in scope, chasing catharsis without blinking.
Nov 3 & Nov 10: Fatherhood, uncensored
Apuzárási pánik – apa stand-up turns the avalanche of dad stories into a cathartic laugh spiral. Help, I became a dad! Oh God! I became a dad! Then come the tears, the laughs, the happiness, the flare-ups, the fear, and that creeping question: am I doing this right? Familiar? Thought so. István Orlik (Luke) mines the trenches of becoming a father with humor and a good pinch of irony. No music cues, no sugarcoating—just a fast, funny, painfully recognizable ride that returns for two dates, November 3 and 10.
Nov 5, 17, 22, 26: Sancho takes the mic
A fegyverhordozó – egy másik Don Quijote történet flips the canon and hands the narrative to Sancho Panza. While world literature bathes Don Quixote—the noble windmill-tilter—in perpetual light, his loyal squire remains stuck in the wings: steadfast, protective, ignored. This production drags the overlooked center stage. With irony and humor, it retells the adventures through Sancho’s moving lens, powered by the knockout vocals and presence of István Orlik (Luke). Audiences don’t just watch; they’re drawn into the intimacy and grit of a servant’s endurance. The show returns across four dates: November 5, 17, 22, and 26. If you’re trigger-happy on tickets, the November 22 listing even nudges you: get your seat NOW.
Nov 12 & Nov 19: Science sneaks through the Dark Ages
A kőbaltától a helikopterig – ismeretterjesztő előadás talks back to the cliché of the “dark” Middle Ages with a time-travel lecture that doubles as an adventure. Think elevators, automobiles, diving suits—now imagine their blueprints flickering to life centuries earlier in the workshops of long-forgotten free-thinkers. How did people dream up deep-sea dives or conquering the sky when building a single wheel was a miracle? Guided by presenter Tamás Tóth, the show threads scientific curiosity with imagination, arguing that many foundations of the future were poured far earlier than most textbooks grant. Recommended for ages 8–99, it’s pitched to kids, adults, curious minds, and anyone ready to be dazzled by the bright minds of a supposedly dim era. Catch it November 12 and 19.
Why Bikal keeps winning
The Bikali Élményszínház has built its reputation on fusing theater with hands-on imagination: circus technique meeting classic drama, stand-up detonating family life, literary myth retold by the overlooked. It’s audience-friendly without playing it safe, and 2025 sticks to that DNA. Whether you’re in it for roaring, acrobatic allegory; for love-and-war dialogue coaching; or for a tender, funny look at parenting, the calendar sprawls with texture. The mix is deliberate: one night court passion with Zina, the next watch Miller’s moral bonfire spin through midair. Then return to let Sancho talk back to the centuries, or to let Tamás Tóth coax open the workshop doors of forgotten geniuses.
