Fészek Theatre since its foundation in 2000, has been trying to balance on the borderlines of drama and pedagogy. Their goal is to urge secondary school students – teenagers – to get to know themselves as much as possible through the help of drama and stage adaptation of plays. They encourage them to accept the world as it is. During their adolescent period they use entertaining methods that help them increase their confidence while turning into young adults. Another branch of Fészek Theatre consists of a group of members who have grown out of the student theatre. This group, which has been working together for the last three years, prefers the type of community acting that deals with reality through the power of words and the problems of the present. The theatre's aim is to experiment with innovative theatrical language as well as to examine and use widely known theatrical traditions, experience and other art forms. They do all this in Central Europe, with confidence and a positive vision of the future. They make theatre about the world for Hungarians. And for the world in Hungarian.
The play is the story of Lola and Sam, their eighteen years spent together which appears on stage in two possible ways: with Stella, their child, or without her. The drama deals with the most determinative sphere of our recent problems: money, career, fame versus family, personal relationships, and children. Two almost-adult teenagers are daydreaming about their future life, and what we see is the sad truth: how their close relationship can go wrong if they don't choose correctly. We can follow all the consequences of the wrong choices in their life. It's a sort of game, where at the end the two losers and the spectators can have a sigh of relief, it's never too late to correct mistakes, and anyone has a chance to start over again. The drama of Lola and Sam is a message for the future, to older and younger generations alike; recognize yourself and live a full life. Stella, who can see everything, knows everything, loves unconditionally and means good, is the same as we are, the spectators who get the absolution: life is greater and smarter than us. You can expect a moving, sincere, daring, and a really youthful performance which makes you laugh and cry at the same time and breaks theatrical conventions.
The title 'Fém' in Hungarian is a play on words: it means metal, however, when pronounced, it sounds like the English word 'fame'. This is not an accident, since the message of the play is the stark reality of adulthood combined with young people's dreams about fame.
