HUNGARY LIVE FESTIVAL

The idea of the Hungary Live Festival in New York came to life when Company k2, one of the participants of the festival, went to the City to collect data about Hungarian immigrants residing in New York who left Hungary around 1956. One of our performances is based on this research. Hungary Live Festival is the first Hungarian theater festival in New York. During the week long event New York audiences will be introduced to three original Hungarian plays performed by some of the most prominent Hungarian theater companies. The festival will also host panel discussions, staged readings, workshops and a concert by the Hungarian band ’Szakértők’. HLF came to life in order to strengthen the connection between the two nations through their shared cultural experiences.
