Performative Unity in the Hungarian Arts

What’s This Podcast
About?

A dazzling performance art scene is being born in Hungary, which, though quite small, boasts artists from all walks of life. Puha means “soft” in Hungarian, and PUHA stands for Performative Unity in the Hungarian Arts. It is an ambitious project by theatre Zsófia Kozma and choreographer-performer Bíborka Béres that brings makers and creators of the Hungarian performance art scene together for discussions. From dancer to set designer, jazz musician to game designer, they talk with all sorts of people about thoughts, approaches, challenges, and ideas in their work. They sit down to explore topics like climate change, gender, queerness, improvisation, and public space in order to replace division and competition by fostering unity and dialogue in the field. This podcast series is produced on HowlRound Theatre Commons, a free and open platform for theatremakers worldwide, to amplify progressive and disruptive ideas about theatre and facilitating connections between diverse practitioners for the past decade.
