Hungary: Trapped in the Patriarchy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istv\u00e1n Tasn\u00e1di: Kartonpapa<\/em><\/strong>
Translated from the Hungarian by Marianne Behrmann<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followed by a panel discussion with the playwright and translator
Dramaturgy: Marianna Behrmann
Intepreted by: Christina Kunze<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istv\u00e1n Tasn\u00e1di’s black comedy examines what happens when a family loses its patriarch. Eva has recently lost her beloved husband, Miklos, and now cannot cope with her new situation and newfound freedom. Miklos was in charge of the family until his death; Eva didn’t have to make her own decisions, which she finds very difficult now. Even the word freedom itself frightens to her. She can’t come to terms with her grief and simply pretends that he’s still alive. So she cuts her spouse out of cardboard and takes the “cardboard dad” (Kartonpapa<\/em>) with her when she goes to visit family with her adult son. The play shows the deep wounds caused by patriarchal structures in family structures and the damage that authoritarian power relationships also leave behind in society as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland<\/strong>: A Bitter Pandemic Commedia dell’Arte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishbel Szatrawska: Totentanz. Schwarze Nacht, schwarzer Tod<\/em><\/strong>
Translated from the Polish by Andreas Volk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followed by a panel discussion with the playwright and translator
Dramaturgy: Andreas Volk
Chaired by: Iwona Uberman
Interpreted by: Agnieszka Grzybkowska<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This play was in the final selection of the prestigious Drama Prize of the city of Gdynia and also on the shortlist of the Berlin Theatertreffen St\u00fcckemarkt (2022). March 2020 in Bergamo: in the middle of the lockdown in the early stages of the pandemic, Francesca and Luca, a middle class couple from the fashion and television industry, are giving a lavish dinner for their neighbours. The social drama gradually devolves from a commedia dell’arte into an opera, then a television drama, and in the end takes on fantastical overtones. The entire story is embedded in a funeral mass and is full of erudite allusions to Italian history, society and culture (Petrarch, Boccaccio, Pasolini). Two invisible plagues hover over the stage like the sword of Damocles: the corona virus dances a merry dance with the virus of fascism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
