A Conversation with Hungarian Theatre Artists

Join New Perspectives Theatre Company’s Gilder-Coigney International Theatre Forum for a live, international panel bringing together artists from the second round of Theatre From The Streets to reflect on the years since the original project, the evolving landscape of Hungarian theatre, and the role of artists in times of political and social change. 

Originally created during Viktor Orbán’s rule in Hungary, Theatre From The Streets documented urgent conversations around censorship, artistic resistance, nationalism, identity, and survival within the arts. 

Now, following Hungary’s recent election cycle, this panel revisits those conversations with the artists who lived them. What has changed? What has remained the same? And how might shifts in Hungary resonate with artists and activists across the globe? 

Featured artists include Martin Boross, Márton Illés, Zsófi Rebeka Kozma, Panni Néder, Réka Szabó, Veronika Szabó, and Mikolt Tózsa. The conversation will be moderated by Anikó Szűcs. Learn more about this event on the New Perspectives Theatre Company website.

Together, the panelists will reflect on where their artistic journeys have taken them since Theatre From The Streets Round Two, how their work has evolved within changing cultural and political realities, and whether moments of transformation in one country can inspire artistic and social change internationally.

Presented by the Gilder-Coigney International Theatre Forum, whose mission is to connect theatremakers globally through conversation, collaboration, and activism, this event continues the Forum’s commitment to fostering cross-cultural exchange and artist-to-artist dialogue across borders.
