Post-Performance Discussion Following 'The Emigrants'
Inspired by themselves, the theater of the absurd and Sławomir Mrożek, the performers of 'The Emigrants' play hybrid characters: 1/3 human being, 1/3 stage character, 1/3 film character. Will they find what they're looking for? The question can be discussed after the show with the creators and performers.
- 1These immigrants search on stage for the freedom they came here for in the first place.

About the show:
The Emigrants
Life as immigrants in Germany – setting off into alleged freedom, intellectual, political or financial, leads a man and a woman into somebody’s basement. One, seemingly a migrant worker, and the other, who at first glance appears to be an intellectual, are left to sink or swim in this barren environment. Through a dizzying combination of mask theater, political and intellectual digressions and self-made films, these emigrants search on stage for the freedom they came here for in the first place. In doing so, they explore especially elaborate relationships between theater and film. And stay inspired by the theater of the absurd, Sławomir Mrożek and their own lives.
About the international artists:
Threepenny Theatre
The text of 'The Emigrants' intertwines with the lives of the performers, is deconstructed through a Babylonian confusion of languages and the boundaries between intimate reality and performance blur. After all, Babylon is their everyday life: Marija Maki Lipkovski is Serbian and Miklós Miki Barna is Hungarian – they live together in Germany and speak Hungarian and Serbian, usually English and German with each other, and sometimes Italian, too. The fact that misunderstandings are just a regular part of the daily routine becomes the means to cryptic humor on stage.
