"We were like two halves who lost each other and found each other again. It was beautiful! It was like North and South Korea opened their borders and reunited, and people prevented from seeing each other for years."

The more impossible it seems to reunite the two aforementioned countries in the Far East, the harder it is to reconcile the eternal differences between woman and man.

This is the premise of the latest production of the Figura Stúdió Színház Theatre, which is based on the idea for the play by French playwright and actor Joël Pommerat. Pommerat is a captivating figure of contemporary French theatre, actor, director, artistic director of his own troupe working on improvisation. The title of the play Reunification of the Two Koreas is more a metaphor for the proposed subject, namely the multiplicity, complexity and, after all, the indissoluble incompatibility of relations between women and men. The play is composed of seemingly independent scenes, of which director Pálffy Tibor and dramaturg Deák Katalin have chosen to present ten. These scenes are each a case study of different situations of love relationships, and are linked into an artistic unity by music composed by Boros Csaba and choreography by Bezsán Noémi. The performance offers a unique French atmosphere through the visual setting designed by Gábor Zsófia.

The premiere is scheduled to take place on 12 May 2023, at 19.00 in the Theatre's newly inaugurated Foundry Studio (Bulevardul Fratiei 23).
