Sára Gálhidy - Sámuel Gyulai - Lilla Szauer
The Man Turns Serious, the Woman Starts To Feel Cold, At Least They Didn’t Kill Themselves
Sára Gálhidy is part of a new generation of Hungarian theatremakers, whose multilayered performance is a unique take on musical theatre, blending realism with the surreal. Until now, the young artists have presented this work exclusively on unconventional locations – under a highway overpass and in the industrial spaces of Arzenál music club, a former weapons factory. It will be shown in a black box theatre space for the first time: on this occasion Trafó’s Main Hall will become the space of ritual.
“There is nothing sadder than finding ourselves alone with ourselves, and gazing into our own souls.” (Sára Gálhidy, Lilla Szauer)
A tragicomical story about a young couple, who cannot process the loss of their child. Their relationship reaches a point where they are unable to progress anymore. We are witnessing the culmination of their tragic condition and the effects they have on people around them, who are all already in difficult and damaging personal circumstances.
