Word for Word examines the facts of the series of attacks on the Roma in Hungary between the years of 2008 and 2009, including the reaction of the majority society, or rather the lack of a reaction with strictly documentary-theatrical methods. The texts used in the course of the performance are solely original materials true to the tenets of verbatim work, the length and sequence of which are determined by the performers without stylizing or rewriting the texts at all.
The performance was preceded by dozens of hours of interviews with survivors, relatives, attorneys, police officers, the leaders of the local minority government and mayors, but we also rely heavily on the statements of public figures and the ensuing media response as well.
The performance is developed through community work, during which the actors and dramaturges do the most to define the final shape of the production.
The premier of Word for Word takes place on the 10th of March at the Trafó. Our guests can catch a glimpse of this on the 28th of February.
