ISZN (Literary and Drama Days) 2018.

As you know, you all know how much I love the theater, and I’m happy to share that this year is an ISZN year again in Balassagyarmat! This is a literary and drama gathering held every other year for amateur theater groups, where actors perform up close—just an arm’s length away from the audience (and the professional jury).

From Friday to Sunday on a February weekend, about 10 plays are performed by amateur artists from all over the country, and even from across the border. I’ve been following the festival since I was a high school girl, then as a young adult, a pregnant mom, and now for the second time with my golden-haired child!

True, most of the performances deal with adult themes, so we can’t always sit through every show together—but this year, all three of us could hardly wait to sit among the audience and escape the outside world for these exceptional hours!

One extra special part of the event is that the opening ceremony featured the VÉ-TÓ duo, consisting of Mami and Gyula—who has been a good family friend for as long as I can remember! They play truly joyful music!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
