Windmills – long-term drama-project in the rural areas of Hungary, 2015/2016

In March 2015 the Káva Cultural Workshop launched a two-season, large-scale art project called „Windmills”. Our aim was to offer some theatrical / dramatic activities that could be interpreted as social interventions among the children´s groups of the farms of Mindszent, Székkutas, Hódmezővásárhely.

These projects finally came together in three community theatrical performances that addressed the entire local community. The most exciting and „most spectacular” element of the Windmills project was beyond doubt the creation and presentation of the three community theatre performances.

In the performances we were addressing questions and problems that all of the project participants (kids, actors, educators, local civilians) could relate to. An important goal was to address those communities (using interactive forms) from which the children came and where they are now living.
