Melodrama

Works at Work

“Melodrama” is a solo “documentary performance” in which Eszter Salamon re-enacts interviews she made with a woman living in a small village in Hungary and who happens to share her name. The result is a meditation not only on the possibility of getting inside another person’s skin, but the extent to which personal hopes and desires exceed the determinations of class, age, geography and religion.

WORKS AT WORK is an international performance festival investigating artistic labor as a form of life. WAW takes place in November the next three years with this year’s focus on solo works. The duo and collective format will be explored in 2015 and 2016.
