Váróterem Projekt prepares the first premiere of the year, and the second of the season. On January 29th 2019 at 7 pm at ZUG.zone will take place the show entitled Romania 100, written adn directed by Lovassy Cseh Tamás.
Romania 100 – a deceptive title. As if the performance spoke about Romania, the last hundred years of the country – tied to the centenary events. Yet the past hundred years are just an excuse to think about where our communities have progressed in this historical time, and what future we can expect in the next 100 years. An excuse to talk about the individual who makes up the community. Is the land livable, on which we were born? Can there be peaceful coexistence? Is it possible and worthwhile to work for the community, while our identities dissolve in a more noble cause? Community or individual? Nation or family? To go or to stay? Politics or manipulation? To face it or to deny it? The multitude of questions that arise on our landscapes from time to time are being raised in the performance, and the search for the answers is entirely the viewer’s task.
The stories of community and individual responsibility are intertwined as we accompany two families – and not only – along the path of public scandal, personal crisis and the tragedy of not understanding each other. Despite all this, the characters often speak in a tone of humor to laugh at each other’s and at their own – sometimes hopeless – situation.
Adults and children, Romanians and Hungarians, men and women, civilians and politicians are living in this fictional, but very familiar landscape, while for some of them, it is becoming increasingly clear: the native land has become unlivable. So what is the solution – they raise the question. In the memories, a field of daffodil which has been seen before keeps reocurring.
