Sex educational cabaret in English14+
Veronika Szabó and Attila Lestyán shrewdly avoid didacticism in SexEd: Cabaret, their multi-genre, interactive performance on sex education. This formidable duo of the Hungarian independent contemporary theatre scene have been active as a two-person company since 2023. With its formation, the Seven Trials Theatre Troupe responded to the past 16 years of Hungarian cultural policy by declaring that, as an underfunded independent company, they would create productions with just seven rehearsals. Of course, this commitment need not be taken seriously – unlike the mission of SexEd Cabaret, a venture branded as dangerous in its own country. In Hungary, as a result of a vaguely worded law passed in 2021, those aiming to provide sex education, especially as outsiders in schools, have had to face numerous obstacles in recent years. The creators of SexEd were also transgressing when, with the cooperation of brave teachers and principals, they ingeniously circumvented this legislation so harmful to children, bringing this uproariously funny and gentle performance to scores of Hungarian youth and not-quite-youth alike.
