Youth Performances – Kolibri Theatre for Children and Youth

Yes, Yes, Yes

Part confessional, part documentary, part open conversation, this irregular performance is a theatrical encounter for teenagers that explores the dark but inescapable themes of intimate relationships: desire, consent and rejection in the shadow of #metoo and #timesup

God of the Bees

Maria Wojtyszko

Sam, or Preparation for Family Life

Sam means alone in Polish. Maria Wojtyszko’s play offers the fresh perspective of contemporary Polish theatre, thematizing with subtle sensibility and humor the problems and self-searching of an adolescent whose parents are going through a difficult divorce. The grotesque family history asks gut-wrenching questions about the possible new role of religion in modern society and […]

Based on the original play by Esther Richardson and Cecilie Lundsholt written by Attila Eck and György Vidovszky

Traitor

The so-called “detective game” built on digital interaction is a one-of-a-kind enterprise in the Hungarian theatre scene: the spectators themselves shape the storyline with the help of a mobile phone application, thus influencing the plot by way of their votes throughout the entire play. This makes them feel real, active participants of the show instead […]

Duplicity (Double Game)

A14 and A15 get to know each other in a chat room of an online video-game. They are absolutely honest with each other, except one thing – the most important. But can you achieve fulfillment without undertaking our perceived weaknesses? Indirections and parallel paths eventually lead to understanding and mutual acceptance. One part of the audience accompanies the girl, while the other part makes the journey with the boy shifting away from one another – to each other.

Hello, Nazi!

An average fight requires two participants: a perpetrator and a victim. Where else could they get to know each other better than in the depths of a prison cell, under the surveillance of policemen who are there to protect and serv. Of course, the situation is much more interesting if the perpetrator is a neo-Nazi, and the victim is a black worker: the front lines become blurry; and only the police’s outlines remain clear-cut.
