Performance • Budapest
Borders and Bridges Festival – Feel the city
The program is aimed at getting a personal, hands-on sense of the city (this time the capital of Hungary), from a new perspective, by a thematic interactive walk through its chosen streets and spaces, lead by a dramapedagogist, named Viola Kallós. There will be an organized city tour during the festival open to public, as well as a special tour for the V4 participants of the creative work process during the festival (authors, translators) and international festival guests. They will get a present, personal, spatial reflection of both the capital, as they had never seen it before and the people and culture of a foreign city. A city that might seem foreign to them , though it is resonating a lot from our common historical and cultural past, as the places we chose to visit reflect the common V4 history and cultural heritage, so this way the partners can encounter also their own culture or a piece of their own history in a foreign city, through listening, hearing and touching, tasting the chosen city sites. The members of the 3 V4 theatre partners (Masakr Elsinor (CZ), Divadlo Poton (SK), Teatr Jednego Wiersza (PL) together with local Hungarian actors and performers will create short performative etudes, to be shown at chosen spots and sites of the city, with the topic reflecting to common history, as well as the main theme of the festival: freedom. The authors will then make use of this experience at a later festival program entitled ‘Authors, translators and books on display’, where they get a chance to share their view of the city (reflecting actual and historical bonds in V4) both in written and spoken form.
