The artists invited to the event will use some unusual locations (should it be natural environment, public space, a building or a room) as starting points for their works and exploit the facilities and significance of these locations. The presented works refer to the history and to the present of the places, melting the myths, memories and stories rooted in the specific locations.
Tape RiotTape Riot, aninterdisciplinary performance, will be presented bythe German-Swiss Asphaltpiloten group. Two dancers, a dj and a street artist working with ducktape will move through the city. The black tape-graffities follow the dancers’ movements and, at the same time, define a frame for the choreography.Two young Hungarian actors, Tamás Ördög and Emőke Kiss-Végh, will be accompanied by two actors from abroad, Malu Peeters and David Power in their site specific performance One in one. The actors will use their own experiences as the source of the theatrical experiment. The couple from abroad lives in Budapest for one month, during which they have to organize their new life, integrate into a new community, find work, make friends, and begin to live legally in the city. The play is based on their experiences and personal interactions during their time spent in Budapest, and it will be performed in the same flat that serves as their home.Babel LibraryDinamó Budapest, a group of graduated students of dramaturgy at the University of Theatre and Film Artsare will present the project Babel Library, an interactive theatre game, where the audience will arrive at the library as usual readers, but as they read and follow quotations and parts from certain books they will meet one another and the actors in different situations. Thus unique stories will be formed throughout this experience.A huge welded iron drawing will be created and presented in public space by the two artists of the Hungarian Randomroutines, applying a technique that was once widely used but has been forgotten. Metal rods, measuring a diameter of 0,5 cm, will be bent and constructed into a large image. The material and the technique outline the images keeping their character simplified. Thus a new meaning will be given to a concrete period of art by contrasting old and new forms of public art.On the closing day of PLACCC 2013, one part of a more comprehensive project will be presented: the Hungarian theatre director, Márta Schermann willbe creating a series of community theatre pieces from August to October aboutthe turning points of a fictional character’s life: Városi Feri lives in the 9th district of Budapest and so the pieces will be about the district itself. Two events of this series will be welcomed by PLACCC.
