In Hungarian
Recommended for ages 16+
Hungarian director and producer Kornél Mundruczó is now transposing this post-apartheid novel by Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee to his merciless reality theatre. He sees in it the parable of the fears of a Europe – and particularly Hungary – confronted with radical change. Mundruczó produces a new vitriolic lampooning of hatred and exclusion.

The performance is the second station of Trafó’s Focal Point Theatrical Series. The contemporary theater and theater-building has a complex nature: it establishes a direct connection between the players and the audience and instead of the conventional, one-sided approach of reception, it tries establishing a conversational relationship which mediates and exhibits. It's built on the thinking, active participation and sometimes even the resistance of the audience. The companies introduced in the series include some which rely on a strong visual presence, some which emphasize interaction and audience participation, and others which choose a traditional method of presenting a story, yet all of which stress the importance of (motion) pictures. This provides us with five models which present current themes in an artistically relevant way in 2012.
