Raubinek Lili: Respect for the 23.000, Trafó Budapest, 30 September
A performance about the 23,000 children and the people who work with them, who live far away from everything, out of sight of society. Who don't get the same as you or me. Those who were forgotten by the great family-friendly Hungary.

36 square meters puzzle tatami cover. Spectators surround this fighting/playing area and witness the fight. The five dancers work from Brazilian jiu jitsu, the initial raw contact dance and the hopelessness.
With this performance I want to pay tribute to the 23.000 children who are trying to survive every day in the Hungarian child protection system. Although I know it won't make it any better or easier for them.

Raubinek Lili lives and works in Hungary as a freelance choreographer and dancer, and also worked for two years in a residential children's home. Her performances are typically at the crossroads of dance and theatre. Her works usually respond to a social phenomenon.
Place: Trafó Budapest
Address: 1094 Budapest, Liliom utca 41.
