Burg Theater Wien/Austria

A war is going on. A mother takes her twin sons from the city to the safety of their rural grandmother‘ s house. There, left to their own devices, they learn to banish their emotions to survive. Ágota Kristóf, who herself fled Hungary as a young woman and emigrated to Switzerland, tells their story in a poetic and at the same time disturbing trilogy. Oscillating between reality and deception.
