Parallax

This extraordinary production tours prestigious world festivals, always to a warm welcome. You won’t see it in Hungary, though, as Kornél Mundruczó and his Proton ensemble have been denied government support. They are thus forced to perform as host abroad, balancing on the verge of survival. The world-renowned director consistently addresses urgent social issues through rich theatrical language and the ensemble’s masterful performances. Parallax is no exception – it is a production that delves into the complexities of Jewish identity across three generations of a Hungarian family. This intimate narrative explores the complexities of family relationships, as well as people’s search for meaning and self-acceptance.
