  Gray Box: Coming Out! | 2016

/Performers: Zsóka Alacsony, Orsi Fodor, Roland Korponovics, Anna Luca Mogyorós, Gyuri Molnár, Szilárd Ujhelyi, Outfit: Anna Ádám, Tímea Piróth, Costumes and accessories: Gray Box, Petra Szűcs, Orsi Kisgyörgy, Music: Kata Cserne, Róbert Földvári, Hairstyle: Hajnalka Forgács, Light: Mátyás Major/ As a part of the Budapest Pride event series we played out several LGBTQ characters’ fictional personal stories. This experience blurred the borders between a performance and a fashion show. The story consisted of six confessions using more than two hundred garments, costumes and accessories. This clothing-performance is firmly based on and built around experiences, with a focus on narrative, conversations, and even hearing and listening. Movements reflecting on the “choreography” of covering/revealing and hiding/coming out also play a key role. The gymnastics of constantly changing stigmas, symbols masks and layers of clothing make way for an almost thirty minutes long “blind encounter” with an unfamiliar situation.
