Contemporary dramas and their authors at the 15th jubilee DESZKA Festival

Abstract

DESZKA Festival, which has focused on contemporary Hungarian drama since its inception in 2006, was held for the first time since 2019 in an interpersonal and reorganised form, welcoming theatre-makers and the wider audience for the fifteenth time this year at the Csokonai National Theatre in Debrecen. The more than one-week-long event series, which took place between 9 and 18 May 2024 and featured thirty-one performances and numerous accompanying events, examined, in the spirit of rethinking, the situation of contemporary Hungarian drama from perspectives not used before.
