From Hungary’s leading theater company, a hilariously disturbing look at surveillance, sexual desire and folk dancing under Communism.
“A superb, tragicomic work of politics and recent history.” The Herald (Scotland)
Hungary’s leading theater director, Pintér offers potent, hilarious insight into a specific absurdity of early ‘80s Communist Hungary: the secret police’s infiltration of amateur folk dancing. Between interludes of live music, friends are torn apart by ideology and the pressure to inform on one another, as seeping distrust—reminiscent of the 2007 film The Lives of Others—poisons even the innocent desire to flirt, stomp and twirl.
In Hungarian with English supertitles. Adult language, graphic sexual content.
Funded in part by the Wetzel Family Fund for the Arts.
