TÁP // A szexualitás története

Join us for an evening of exploration and discussion as we delve into the history of human sexuality in the performance theater piece titled “TÁP // A szexualitás története.” Led by the talented team from TÁP Tilos az Á Performansz Színház, this thought-provoking performance will take place on Thursday, September 28, 2023, from 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM UTC+02 at Jurányi Street 1-3 in Budapest.

In this performance, the machine vibrates everywhere - wherever you look, wherever you hide, wherever you reach. It lingers in your workplace, whips in the offices and bureaucrats’ shredders. It clenches its fist while tied to the bed. It lurks in the empty spaces between the gears of the market giant factory, in deserted malls, under children’s beds, in soldiers’ trousers. Its wires run through your body, buzzing and whispering in your flesh, labeling you as fat, lascivious, perverted, hysterical! At other times, it caresses you in the classroom, in the basement, on the night beach, and on the backseat of your car.

The machine permeates the body. It hums, moans, speaks. It writes on the skin. It tells the story of sexuality.

The performance features a talented cast including Szabó Veronika, Sárközi-Nagy Ilona, Lestyán Attila, Martinkovics Máté, and Medveczky Balázs. The script is written by Lénárd Róbert-Selmeczi Bea, with dramaturgy by Selmeczi Bea. The music is composed by Zságer-Varga Ákos, costumes designed by Jákóhalmi Zsófia, and set design by Boros Anna Eszter. The production is led by produkciós vezetőDézsi Fruzsina with the assistance of Csonka Laura, and directed by Lénárd Róbert.

The performance will take place at B staircase, 2nd floor, TÁP room in the Jurányi Ház. This event is supported by the Ministry of Human Resources.

Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the fascinating history of human sexuality through the unique lens of performance theater. Join us for an evening of thought-provoking exploration and immersive storytelling. Grab your tickets now and be a part of this unforgettable experience. Event Link
