BRUTAL REGIONAL * PERFORMANCE / TALKSHOW / LIVESTREAM

12 September
2020 Oberwart / Budapest

On 11 Sept 1989 the western borders of Hungary officially opened. The Iron Curtain seemed to fall.
31 years later the “real a system change” was said to be happening in Iron Street (Vas utca), Budapest. Here Theatre and film students have been occupying their university campus for over a week in opposition to autoritarian and neoliberal policies excluding them from decision making about their own insitution. Was the assigned new director of the curatorium right, envisioning a conservative system change in theatre? Or something else is going on in Iron Street? #freeszfe
Our Studio Budapest went brutally local and broadcasted via chalk TV and street interviews (among them the mayor of Budapest).
In the meantime on the HU-AT border in Oberwart a talk show was held revisiting the Iron Media around the system changes of 1989, asking the question: what power regional TV can still have?
