The new performance by the theatre makers of 'Happy Birthday, Regina!' is based on the personal stories of health workers, maternity activists, Roma and non-Roma women, and the narrators of the stories are themselves in the play.
Ramóna's story is about...
... where it is good to be born, where is a good place for a baby.
... how many human relationships are formed around the birth of a child?
... how alone you can be, even among many people.
... how women can support and sometimes hinder each other.
... how state institutions make life even more difficult for those in difficulty.
... that child protection is often only a paper exercise.
... that sometimes it all depends on a signature.
... how easily we can lose control of our own lives.
"We oriented towards those strands of theatre that represent concrete and acute social issues, experiment with authentic forms of these issues, and involve civic people in some phase of theatre work (...) These are necessarily transdisciplinary enterprises in which researchers, stakeholders, support professionals and artists seek to systematically understand the experiences of members of the most vulnerable groups in society and then collectively articulate these experiences for the public." (Interview by Lilla Proics with Kata Horváth, Revizor)
