Budapest's main house for experimental dance, theatre and music, in a former electrical transformer building in inner Ferencváros. It is where the city's contemporary art crowd goes; dance pieces work without Hungarian and some performances carry English subtitles.

Good to know

  • Check the programme for pieces marked with English subtitles (Offbeat Budapest).
  • The Trafik café in the building is a good place for a coffee before the show (Offbeat Budapest calls Trafó's cafe a good break).
