Based on a true story

complex educational dance theatre performance for primary school pupils in grades 6-8

a joint production of the National Dance Theatre, Central Europe Dance Theatre, Káva Cultural Workshop and Bethlen Téri Theatre

The focus of the performance is a family in disarray (a mother raising her children alone, a teenage boy looking for a way, a sceptical teenage girl and a father who is distant).Through their stories, we will reflect together with the participants aged 12-14 on how to preserve one's humanity (and childlikeness) in a family in disarray.

"I've been in a theatre where the bartender is part of the "set" without any effort, relaxed and cheerful, and even I am when I buy my coffee before the performance, because I almost don't notice how adults who will be on stage in a few minutes are mingling with the audience (currently 13 years old) waiting around me to talk."

National Dance Theatre: "the Dance has the floor" asks (National Dance Theatre) – 18/01/2016

"The show is about a family falling apart, with a 12-year-old teenage boy at the centre of the action, played by Gábor Ivanov, a dancer from the Central Europe Dance Theatre. What was important to you about his character?

Unfortunately, the model of the family that is portrayed in the lecture is becoming more and more widespread. A father can be lost not only by dying, but also by being constantly absent from his children's lives because he is working abroad. This is a serious trauma that can cause problems later in a person's life."

"The Based on a true story is unique in two ways in the growing field of theatre education. Paradoxically, on the one hand, it is precisely because it has chosen a perfectly ordinary story as its subject. This is not to say, of course, that serious issues that affect young people directly or indirectly, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide or crime, do not need to be addressed. We do need to, but it is also good to have the less obvious, but for many, everyday life situations."
