“RAW quakes”
During their residency, performers Haibo Illés & Richárd Melykó are working on the project “RAW quakes”, a research-based performance that explores the impact of earthquakes on theaters, in particular on buildings and their aesthetics, from a theoretical approach. Through that they address the importance of the theater as a safe space, but also its frail and unpredictability. The work around the earthquake in a cultural-political context is situated between the intersection of performative use of space and lecture performance.
The residency takes place as part of the festival “Nebenan/Mellettünk – Independent Art from Hungary” . In cooperation with the Workshop Foundation – a platform for international residencies and co-productions in Budapest – three residency projects by young dance and performance artists from the independent scene in Hungary have been selected.
