Katalin - A Transformation Game by Áron Birtalan

Transformation Game for a small number of players with a darkened room and an audio cassette archive.

Transformation Games is an artistic and political practice that tries to re-imagine the world around us through playful social experiences. The Transformation Games from Áron Birtalan combine techniques of role play, rituals, movement practices, story telling and daily routines. There is no one who 'acts', no external view through the eyes of an audience. This makes an intimate place possible where the artwork is not the spectacle, but the experience of the participant.

Katalin Juhász passed away on December the 26th 2015 at the age of seventy-two. A loner and old maid her entire life, she left behind 3 boxes containing a startling number of catalogued audio cassettes containing private conversations, field and ambience recordings and collages of stray sounds. 'Katalin' is the first experiment to explore this remarkable, real-life archive.

'Katalin' is a shared experience of deep listening and deep responding. We will be guided through different playful exercises in imagination and attention; exploring and engaging with the sounds past, in order to re-imagine and transform the present.

Length: 4,5 hours, including a workshop.
