Hagymaház, Cultural center and theatre in Makó, Hungary.
Hagymaház is a cultural center and theatre building with distinctive white modernist architecture featuring towers that resemble tall plants and a base symbolizing roots. The complex houses a theatre hall, café, club rooms, and a large outdoor stage with seating for many spectators.
The building was designed by architect Imre Makovecz and opened in 1998, continuing an initiative that began in 1936 as an urban association dedicated to the region's onion heritage. The development reflects how a community idea evolved over many decades.
The center displays large-scale artwork such as the painting 'Wedding Feast' by Imre Kocsis in its upper foyer. The spaces serve as a gathering place for local cultural events and community activities.
The venue offers different options depending on what you want to see: theatre performances inside the hall or events on the outdoor stage. The layout allows visitors to choose between indoor or outdoor seating based on their preference.
A special feature is the retractable back wall of the theatre hall, which allows performances to be watched simultaneously from both inside and outside. This flexibility makes the building stand out among theatres in the region.
