'Living the Dream with Grandma', Trafó Budapest, 19 & 20 December
- 13 Dec 2022 12:01 PM
Living the Dream with Grandma is a lyrical, yet humorous one-man-show about processing third-generation trauma.
This unique multimedia piece takes place over a month, in the middle of the pandemic lock-down in Budapest, Hungary, when László Göndör, the 35-year- old author suffering from an identity crisis, moves in with his 97-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor.
Over 32 days, the grandmother and grandson try to grasp each other’s pain and trauma, as well as their profound mutual love.
By presenting the gap between the two generations and the loving relationship between them, the piece facilitates the process of understanding and acceptance – both for those who have been through similar life situations and those for whom the topic is unknown.
The text was written and edited by Zsófia Bódi, Kornél Laboda and László Göndör from the documented conversations.
"- How important is feedback in your life?
- I do my job, and if it's something, they'll notice.
- And if they don't?
- Well, yes, and if they don't. Now, give me that gingerbread.”
