He has played in Győr in the ruinous art sanctum. But we have found the replacement of this sanctum in the Fort Monostor, Danube tower. You won't be disappointed.

WasteGhosts. Street-performance work-in-progress

The Theater Anthropology Cooperative invites you to the workshop Waste Ghosts.
The project's concept: "Bury us properly or else we are coming to haunt you!"

WasteGhosts represents an interdisciplinary venture of Experimental Recycling and Human Ecology. The workshop aims to construct a street-performance in the form of a parade inspired by death rituals, funeral ceremonies, All Soul’s Day and requiem customs from different cultures.

Based on the WasteGhosts metaphor of the souls and matters improperly integrated in the universe cycle, we create giant puppets, masks, flags, costumes, flower crowns, musical instruments.We improvise interactive theatrical and musical scenes.
