Baltazar Theatre, founded in February 1998, is the one and only professional theatre company in Hungary, whose members are mentally disabled actors and actresses. The Baltazar Theatre Foundation, which runs the theatre company, breaks new ground by putting actors' disabilities in the background and emphasizing their talent. We create the conditions for disabled people to earn a living from their talent. Our work is based on the ambition that our pieces should not be prepared and presented in social exclusion. The performances should not be judged by a relative standard, but by their own values. The theatre plays a key role in getting disabled people accepted, it offers a way for the mentally disabled to get integrated into society.

None of Picasso’s paintings bears the title Creation of the World. Our story of Adam and Eve was created after his imaginary brushstrokes. The heavenly bliss of a mother’s lap is outlined against the empty canvas, while the drama of creation becomes embodied in the first human couple. Their passion slumbers around their lowest vertebra and their desire reaches sky-high. You need a ladder to reach it. They climb step by step up the rungs of can and can’t, stopping level with the crowns of the trees. The fruit is theirs, and with it the fall. Every newborn carries the pain of touching ground. The task of reversing their fortune awaits them: the real challenge, my children, is to create an eden outside of Eden
