22 Nov The Invisible History as Her Story. Women in Hungarian/Minority Theater.
International Conference
Cluj-Napoca, December 2-4. 2021
The presence of female theater makers – dramaturgs, playwrights, directors, designers, artistic directors, cultural policy makers – is still phenomenal and uncommon today in Hungarian theater in Romania. “Her” story is rarely seen in the larger context of Hungarian and Romanian theater and cultural life. The “actress” is historically almost the only visible female theater maker. Our conference will focus on female theater makers’ invisible stories, on their context in Hungarian and/or minority and Romanian social, historical and theater world, career histories in the past and present, and discourses unfolding around their activity.
The conference takes place from the 2nd to 4th of December in a hybrid format and it is supported by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Hungarian University Institute of Cluj the Babeș-Bolyai University and the Janovics Center for Screen and Performing Arts Studies.
The conference is bilingual, English and Hungarian, and interpreters will be provided for all the presentations.
The Key Speakers are Gajdó Tamás (Hungarian Theater Museum and Institute), Penny Farfan (University of Calgary, Canada), Alina Nelega (University of Arts, Tirgu-Mures), Pető Andrea (Central European University, Hungary-Austria).
