The history of the Croatian Theater in Pécs may have begun when, in 1989, a huge, freshly cut tree was erected on a stage built between the ruins of Tettye: the "tree of life", among the branches of which the band held a high place and played the colo Miroslav Krleža: On the performance of his drama Farewell to St. John's Day. [1] The work is in Croatian and Hungarian; performed by Croatian and Hungarian native speakers, dancers and musicians. They played, sang, and danced the pain, the vision, as Krleza saw the lives of nationalities in the pre-war moment. The play was also performed on the much more spacious open-air stage on Káptalan Street, and in 1991, just before the outbreak of the South Slavic war, the 140-strong company performed with it as a guest at the Croatian Drama Festival in Split. The next stage work, spoken in two languages, was Bresan's work, Peasant Hamlet. [1] The success made clear the need for acting in Croatian. The Croatian Theater of Pécs became a member of the then Pécs Summer Theater and the Pécs Small Theater, and in 1992 it performed at the Castle Theater in Budapest in a solemn setting. [1] It was then staged in Croatian by Anton Karagic: The Divorced, Matisic: A Christmas Tale, and Mujicic-Senker: The Cadet. The special feature of the Cadet is that its text is multilingual, thus characterizing Pécs, the multi-ethnic city where the main character of the work was Krleza, a military prodigy. Intendant Zvonko Ivković, who was in charge of the Osijek Theater at the time, [1] and the Osijek actors who took on such an extremely difficult task for the first time, played a significant role in this. In the first days, the Croatian Theater existed almost without a budget: the city of Pécs could not afford to maintain an institution performing national tasks. Even from very modest sums, but one after the other. A special and fruitful relationship was established between the artists of Zagreb and Pécs. It is special because it works almost spontaneously and is fruitful because of the frequent meetings of the company known as "Csopor (t) -Horda" - in Pécs or Zagreb - many fine art exhibitions, theatrical performances, guest performances by actors, a church plan and many published book was born. Several works have been translated into Croatian and Hungarian. This is how Árpád Göncz: Magyar Médeia c. a Croatian translation of his drama and the demand for presentation came from the Croats.
