European Freaks

Budapest based theatre collective STEREO AKT creates a participative
performance on the spot, based on the experiences, questions and dilemmas
raised by the conference “European Freaks’ Con”. Tübingen locals get
involved in a citizen stage project to take part in the creation process of an
exciting, provocative and funny contemporary theatre piece.

If a historian in the future would have to guess the condition of the EU based
on articles and news from 2018, probably the prognosis would not be very
optimistic. 2019 is a fate year for the EU — facing BREXIT and the EUelections.
What should we do next: is it cosmetic intervention, facelift, or
reanimation that is needed? What happened to the European idea?

animator on stage and innovative sound design the show tries to imagine a
Europe 2.0. Can we defibrillate the pulse of Europe?

STEREO AKT is one of the most progressive Hungarian contemporary
theatre collectives, which creates event-like performances with the artistic
leadership of Martin Boross. Their performances deal with existential issues
that address the possibilities of a person, a community or a society. During
its 6-year career, STEREO AKT has created 12 full-length performances, a
documentary movie, a number of smaller-scale artistic projects, numerous
local and international collaborations, participated in well-known festivals
and won several awards. STEREO AKT has worked at the Trafó House of
Contemporary Arts, the Jurányi House and at MU Theatre in Budapest, but
also worked in collaboration projects in the Netherlands, Germany,
Denmark, Poland, Spain and the US.
