‘RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT PERFORMANCE’

This is the motto of the Hungarian based performance duo Illés Haibo and Richárd Melykó, who do not just create performances. It is a real and necessary family business, a collaboration between a live set designer and an erupter. Their main areas of expertise are damage assessment and damage reporting.

Most recently, in their performance Drill, presented in 2023, they explored the hope of young people trying to make it in the cultural sector.

This time they deal with uncertainty. In the RAW that explores the impact of earthquakes on theaters from a theoretical perspective. A work about earthquakes in a cultural-political context is situated between performative use of space and lecture performance.

Supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council and Bratislava City Foundation.
The performance was created within the Visegrad Artist Residency Program with the support of the International Visegrad Fund.
