- Theatre
Kornél Mundruczó’s adaptation of J.M. Coetzee’s novel “Disgrace” works with the drastic images of a theater-reality show. The director illuminates current shifts in power on the political map, transferring the events from South Africa to Europe from his Hungarian perspective – “as a parable of the questions of being European, of the general fears and problems on our continent, which is so visibly facing great upheavals.”
Co-production: Wiener Festwochen, Proton Cinema + Theatre (Budapest), Trafó – House of Contemporary Arts (Budapest), HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Festival d’Avignon, Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Malta Festival (Poznan), Romaeuropa Festival.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
