Interview with Rodrigó Balogh and Márton Illés about Shoddies / Selejtesek (Hungary)

Interview by Rosamaria Kostic Cisneros.

How do we experience our health care system? How embarrassing is it to just wait and wait when we are ill and vulnerable? What are our experiences or stereotypes of the Roma, addicts, or extremist youngsters that who might be our neighbors in a ward. The health care system has a lot of weak points, and we all have at least one horror story. But have a look at this question from another angle: let’s see what we can do for a change! Independent Theater Hungary’s play shows different viewpoints on health care and general coexistence to draw attention to the importance of taking action.
