discount price: 2800 HUF

The film invites you to STEREO AKT's theatre walk in the former tobacco factory building on Kőbányai road, where the site's little-known past is revealed with a team of actors, singers and migrant participants.

STEREO AKT has been joined by Irini and Perisztera, whose family, fleeing the civil war, found refuge in the closed world of the Greek colony on Kőbánya Road. Also joined by Abouzar and his son Armin, the last witnesses to the world of the transit zones on the southern border in Hungary. Stories of refugees in radically different historical and political contexts, only the host country is the same in both cases: Hungary in the late 1940s and today.

The film includes excerpts from András Földes' article "The transit zone is actually a prison, where pregnant women are also handcuffed" (index.hu, 12.06.2017), and from a video report by Júlia Halász and Péter Erdélyi (444.hu, 13.09.2017).

The performance is created in the framework of the Liberty international partnership with the support of the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.
