History History History
A show exploring a film made during the unsuccessful Hungarian uprising against the USSR.
Overview
In 1956, the Corvin Cinema in Budapest became the home base for the unsuccessful Hungarian uprising against the USSR. The rebellion was short-lived, but had long-lasting repercussions — for Europe, of course, but also for the filmmakers who were due to premiere their movie at the theatre the very next week.
Billed as a "performance lecture", and featuring interviews with the exiled screenwriter and other people involved in the film's production, History History History tells the story of the making of the movie, a comedy about football that doubled as a thinly veiled satire of the communist regime. The film itself will be screened even as the performers do their thing, as theatre-maker Deborah Pearson explores questions of history, censorship and imagination.
History History History will be on stage at The Substation in Newport as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
