GOBBI HILDA 100
On the occasion of the birth centenary of Gobbi Hilda, our exhibition entitled "Actors cannot live without enthusiasm. Being enthusiastic is his/her virtue ..." - Gobbi 100 opened at the Bajor Gizi Actor Museum on September 21, 2013. The exhibition not only paid tribute to the actor, but also to the founder of our museum. The organization of the oeuvre exhibition presented the curators with a dual purpose: in addition to the acting work of the outstanding artist, the exhibition also showed the public activity of Gobbi Hilda - quite unique in Hungarian theater history – which she performed for the theater and her colleagues, the results of which still have a lasting effect today.

GYÖRGY SZÉKELY: MOSAICS
Studies in theater history from seven decades
Dr. György Székely (1918-2012) was a key figure in Hungarian theater studies. By introducing the concept of "playtype" in the 1960s, he proved that acting is not equivalent to drama, and text is not the sole basis of a theatrical performance. Székely was an English-German-Aesthetics graduate at the University of Sciences in Budapest. He began his career at the National Theater in 1941 as a dramaturg and director. Between 1943 and 1948, he supervised the National Theater of Pécs intermittently. After that, he managed the theatre companies from Szolnok and Békéscsaba. Between 1952 and 1957, he was Manager of the Budapest Operetta Theater. From 1957 he was an employee of the Institute of Theater Studies and the Hungarian Theater Institute, and from 1960 to 1980 he was Deputy Director of the Institution. |

DIGITAL THEATRE HISTORY
Historical and methodological theatre studies
Scholars of arts and humanities are generally sceptical when it comes to judging the impact of "modern technology" on the development of science, because, after all, its whole growth and intellectual legitimacy once stemmed from the paradoxical self-consciousness of superiority that these two are hardly "compatible" with each other. And while becoming more and more at ease in the maze of technology, one is not very inclined to emancipate what one have so far considered a tool, at best one’s famulus, the increasingly indispensable technique. Or technology. Or just computer science - and even that is not the most suitable synonym for what we are only now learning to understand. Now, when we are writing a story…

THEATER AND POLITICS
Studies in theatre history, 1949-1989
After the Second World War, Hungarian theatre life found itself in a serious crisis. To date, no objective scientific analysis of this era has taken place. How was the change in program policy achieved? Was the huge thirst for culture met by the theaters and have they overcome their financial difficulties? In the volume Theater and Politics, we look for answers to the most important questions of this period, while the papers presented aim to encourage further research. Studies based on files uncovered from the archives are in dialogue with each other, highlight obscure points, and at the same time deal with the legends of the theater history.

PRAISE TO THEATRICALITY
Russian theater theories at the beginning of the 20th century
In Russia, the first two decades of the 20th century were an era of theatrical utopias, high-impact theatrical theories, and reinterpreted theater stories. This is the age of artistic and social utopias: artistic philosophical utopias that not only examine the crisis of the present and the lessons of the past, but preach the word: proclaiming the theater of the future.

BIRTH OF THE MODERN THEATER
Researching modern theater, which sprung into existence with the 20th century, is also relevant, because dramatists at the turn of the century and modern drama related to it had a decisive influence on theater and playwriting. On the other hand, it draws attention to the number of unexplained connections of the seemingly closed era and corpus strengthened by poststructural sociological development and the validation of interdisciplinary approach.
The processes presented by the following studies are intertwined at several points, and together they draw an overall picture of the directions and circumstances of creating the modern theater. The editor hopes that it can be the initiator and stimulus for future research.

THEATER AND MEMORY
When we selected the framework of the thematic issue of the Jubilee Theatre Review, we decided that the volume would publish the studies of theater historians and museologists currently working at the Theatre Institute, with the undisguised intention to draw attention to one of the goals: professional changes initiated at the turn of the millennium aim to improve the professional ranking of HTMI, in addition, improving its perception as a research site. Hoping for this intent to be partially realized, P. Müller Péter, serving as the Director of the 50 years old institution, kindly recommends the following studies.
