If the world is full of gibberish, so should be the theatre. A post-truth world needs post-truth theatre. Not to understand, to feel (from the guts). No story, no narrative arc? Why don’t you live a life with an arc. Politicians, politicians, politicians!
The performance is part of the Sufni Project mentoring programme, led by Gábor Zsámbéki, in the framework of the Budapest Spring Festival, in collaboration with Budapest Brand, with the support of the Goethe Institute.
This is my first play at Katona József Theatre in Budapest, for which I won the Vastaps Special Prize, voted by the members of the theatre.
premiere: 2023
