“We Are All Owners of Stories”

Summary/Abstract: The ‘Focus on the Community Theatre’ conference was organized in Debrecen on the weekend of 9-11 December 2022. Four recent Hungarian theatre performances were shown there – two recorded, two live – and are briefly described in the essay, which also provides excerpts from the public reflections of the playful “conference”.
