Democratic Playgrounds

May 9–21, 2015

Organisers: Empty Space Company, Létra, Cultural Labor Social Cooperation, Dorottya Kanics, Zsin Bence, Miklós Kerner

Let’s Play Freely!

We want to create a playground where, through different art forms, we can think about coexistence side by side, strengthening each other’s perspectives. About its advantages, disadvantages, functioning and struggling aspects. This game takes place at Létra Community Space.

• An open space.

• Everyone is welcome.

• We can freely use its locations, create, talk, and play.

Létra is open to everyone from May 9–21, and anyone can join the game at any time.

On May 27 and 28, we will announce the opening of our playground with street performances, and we will present it to the general public on May 29 at 7:00 PM.

Venue: Létra (7625 Pécs, Vince utca 11-13.)

Open Forum, Roundtable Discussions

“If theater can serve as scaffolding for social analysis, society can become even more of a scaffold for theater.”

This Schechner-inspired idea forms the core of our open forums and roundtable discussions. Our central question is: how can theater and its allied arts help generate debate and spark thought?

We invite participating professionals to help us untangle the delicate boundaries between society, art, and democracy.
