How to be who we want to be when we still don’t know what that is? Up and coming Budapest comedians Luca and Maja enter the world of secret societies, friendship and roles: those we take on and those we just try out for a little while. Using themselves as source material, the comedians explore the formation of human identity in relation to others.

Hi, I'm Luca, and I'm Maja, and we want to know how to be how we want to be, even though we don't yet know how we want to be. We'd also like to have friends. Last year, we went to lots of places to make friends and while we were there we learned how to: pick up girls, be religious, find a watermelon farm (well, not really), be right-wing, ballroom dance, and fall in love. Now we're going to report on whether this helped us be how we want to be, even though we don't even know how we want to be, reveal whether we made friends, and pass on our knowledge. So it's a 3-in-1 deal. And more.

The event will take place in very friendly English.

  • Bio

    Maja Juhász and Luca Kovács have been working together as a creative duo since 2023. Their 2024/25 project was a performance series titled Mostakkor (THE MANUAL), consisting of nine episodes and presented at the Trafó House of Contemporary Arts in Budapest. The use of autobiographical elements and fieldwork as a form of research are particularly important in their work. Luca Kovács graduated from the Freeszfe Association’s Theatre and Performance program in 2024. During her studies, she met Maja Juhász, who graduated from the Freeszfe Association’s Theatre Making program in 2023 and is currently studying film directing at ELTE.
