April is dedicated to theatre in Trafó. We would like to present the diversity of contemporary performing arts in a series we call Pendulum. Why Pendulum? Because we would like to show you the difference between text and drama, on-stage and off-stage moments, fiction and reality… theatre and theatre.
Join us in this theatre-roundtrip! We bring you Beckett’s Fragments directed by Peter Brook, the latest creation (Maria-Magdalene) of the Flemish Wayn Traub’s, in which theatre meets film and opera. There is also a chance to taste site-specific theatre: English author Tim Crouch plays the main role in his own piece entitled England in an art gallery, while the well-known British group Rotozaza offers you the intimacy of theatre in a café (Etiquette). The project named The Large Movement by Dutch artist Dries Verhoeven presents a special mixture of on-screen illusion and on-stage reality in everyday life; and for 15 minutes everyone can become a hero in worldwideheroshow conducted by the Dutch-Hungarian Space Theatre Group. Last but not least, we will also present the newest production of Csaba Horváth and Balázs Szálinger.
There is no passport-control, and you can fill up your imaginary suitcase with amazing, unforgettable moments!
