Theatre Trafik – Transitive
Fiction Theatre, founded in 1998, works with dance and movement theatre
techniques. Their focus is on the human body researched through different
artistic forms: theatre, literature, music, the visual arts, film, and so on.
This is the first time they have performed in Hungary.
Time, space and body are the
three points through which the new performance by Trafik questions the
phenomenon of tourist consumerism. During summer vacation, the body of the
individual, drowned in the mass, easily loses its identity, often resulting in
the so called ‘holiday blues’ – a depression caused by unfulfilled
expectations. An overcrowded beach or an abandoned summer terrace are places
which once a year, through isolated movements and lonely moments of forced
entertainment, show a completely different reality, at once absurd, bizarre and
melancholic.
