17-19 Cockspur St, London SW1Y 5BL
Join us this May for the performance of Magic Cube, a contemporary drama by the London-based Hungarian theatre company, HubArt.
Six childhood friends, two countries, and a thousand miles between them. How do you keep a bond alive when life scatters you across Europe? Some stayed in Hungary to build a future at home, while others moved to London to seek a new start. Through laughter and heartache, the play follows their journey across life’s major milestones - career shifts, marriages, and the search for belonging.
Just like the Rubik’s Cube, their lives are constantly being twisted and turned by time and distance. Can they ever align the colours again, or has the "game" become too complex to solve? Magic Cube is an honest, relatable, and often humorous reflection on the modern Hungarian diaspora and the enduring power of the chosen family.
The play is approximately 75 minutes long and will be performed in English.
