The Ladder Art Company represents Hungary with an aerial show this year at the Voila! Europe multilingual theatre festival supported by the Liszt Institute London.
Voila! Europe is a multilingual theatre festival produced by The Cockpit. Their curated programme of cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary performance opens a trusted portal to new European theatre for independent artists and adventurous audiences. The festival is live on stage in London and live online everywhere, gathering together a welcoming community of the culturally curious.
This years' selected play, the 'Awakening' is an interdisciplinary piece, integrating new-circus, pantomime and physical theatre genres, created by Hungarian young of the Ladder Art Company.
With an aerial rope and several fairies, two characters search for their essential selves in a never-ending process of growing up. In their world, magic doesn’t require anything but a pillow, and if it’s too dark, you light up the sky with the stars that you draw with your own fingers.
'For many years I mistook myself for someone, who doesn’t exist; and even beyond years, I mistook the impalpable for the impossible. Countless fairies, neither one nor more: that is what I am, the rest is just appearance.'
Created and performed by: Mátyás Marofka and Balázs Kulcsár
Duration: 1 hour
