"Political systems embedded in culture are here to stay" Discussion with the creators of Singing Youth

Abstract

It's hard to catch it in Hungary, but we can say that two and a half years after its premiere, Singing Youth has been revived: after Dresden, Vienna and Belgrade, it is due to appear abroad again, to introduce international audiences to the reality of the 1950s and the 2020s, which in many ways parallels the politics and public discourse of Hungary. Tamás Jászay also talked to the creators of the performance, Judit Böröcz, György Bence Pálinkás and Máté Szigeti about the inherited power structures and the different emphases of Hungarian and foreign reception.
