The Barentsz Dilemma

We are Emőke Kiss-Végh and Tamás Ördög, young Hungarian actors and theatremakers.

We graduated at the University of Kaposvár Faculty of Arts/Theatre with Bachelor degree in 2009. Since 2010 we have been involved in an MA in theatre studies at the Károli Gáspár University, Budapest.

Our performances:

Since graduation we are working together and produced six site-specific performances in Hungary.

Two so called birthday parties (The Cake1/2) in an appartement and the streets around it; an adaptation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, performed on a busy square, in a park, in an office, the audience moved along with the scene/the location, a horror road movie show (The Wretched) in downtown Budapest where the audience also followed the performers, and finally 'Ibsen to my livingroom!' in which we give the opportunity to our audince to „order” us to their home. So we can play our performance time by time in an other space. 

Our last work of the season was Chekhov's Seagull. We adapted the famous play to a cook school in Budapest.

We write our stories ourselves or rewrite big classics. At this point we work as a collective and not with a director because we want to pose our ideas to the audience. We want to follow our drive.
