As part of the Hungary Live Festival, the first Hungarian Theater Festival in New York, Moonstone will have its US premiere. Moonstone is a production of k2 Company, Hungary.

What does “collision of cultures” actually mean? The separation from the parent body which leaves an impact on the foreign hostile environment as well as in the following generations? What kind of political and psychological environment had been in Hungary when the revolution broke out sixty years ago? Furthermore, can one expect a similar situation in the near future? Can one actually do anything if one wants to change the present situation? What are adequate forms of resistance? As young theater architects, the creators of ‘Moonstone’ seek the answers to these questions through the collections and recordings of the personal stories of the survivors of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution who emigrated to America. These interviews were conducted in September 2016 in New York. The purpose of this particular performance is to bring the spirit of 1956’s Revolution close to our generation. The dramatization of individual stories and destinies will bring the events of the 1956 Revolution and the War of Independence home to younger generations.

Moonstone is created by Anna Boros, Dániel Borsányi, Zsolt Domokos, Szabolcs Horváth, Em?ke Piti.
Music by Szabolcs Horváth.
Poems by Péter Závada.
Directed by Bence Benkó and Péter Fábián

Performed in Hungarian
