The all-art productions of Trafó's season opener revolve around a current social or artistic issue, but each focuses primarily on the phenomenon of violence that appears in all areas of life, the cultural scene wrote in its Friday statement.

The six-day program will bring together different genres and approaches in contemporary dance, performance, visual arts, music and theater productions, often in a boundary-pushing way, even within a single production.

Each day will feature the work of several artists, so in addition to familiar names, Trafó will also invite its audience to get to know new artists and other genres. A new feature will be the daily ticket, which will allow you to visit all programs with one ticket.

The series will open with a large-scale multimedia performance by Igor and Ivan Buharov on September 19. The experimental filmmaker-visual artist duo, together with the actor-musician-performer team of the Antimilitarista Szalon, will process dreams that avant-garde artist Emil Szittya collected from people of that time during World War II.
 

There will also be a premiere of Péter Kárpáti's new play, Rühes kuty (The Mange Dog), which can be described as visionary folklore and explores the deep psychological aspects of violence. The performance will feature, among others, Lilla Barna, Tibor Boda, Natasa Stork and Gáspár Téri.

The AHA Collective, a group of young dancers, explores one of the most invisible forms of violence, the feeling of observation and being observed, with media artist Tamás Páll, while the London-based Cooking Sections group invites interested parties to a community "drought dinner" titled Climate Eaters . The performance aims to show how it is worth eating during the drought and other ecological crises caused by the climate crisis, so that we regenerate the environment rather than further destroy it.

Also on the first weekend, Koltay Dorottya Szonja and Téglakara invite the audience to a city performance walk, raising their voices against violence against women, while Trafó's participatory workshop, Gondolat Generátor, organizes a women's self-defense performance in the public spaces of District 11.

On the second weekend, a joint concert performance by visual artist Aphasia Jelena Juresa, actor-dancer Ivana Jozic, and experimental musicians Alen and Nenad Sinkauz will take place in the Trafó main hall: evoking the atmosphere of a nightclub, they will discuss the issue of war complicity through the story of a Belgrade DJ involved in the Yugoslav war. Dávid Somló will try to counterbalance the challenges of trauma processing with a performance exploring the utopian possibilities of quiet togetherness.

The last day of the series ends in an unusual outdoor location. In the area of ​​Hungary's first large-scale weapons factory, in the Arzenál on Soroksári Street, Balázs Pándi and Attila Csihar's Hiedelem formation tries to tune the audience to the end of violence. Bence György Pálinkás and Tímea Török, as well as Dávid Somló and Lili Raubinek explore the issue of armament and less lethal weapons in their performance.
