Are we shaped by our memories? If you leave your birthplace behind, does that change what you remember? And what happens when you try to revisit those memories, in a new place?

Robert Lučkay was born in the Hungarian-speaking part of Slovakia in 1976. At least five generations of his family have lived in Kosiče and in the small, rural villages nearby. Over the course of almost ten hours of interviews, director Maria Aberg maps his family tree and asks him to recreate what he remembers – and those he remembers – on stage.

In a visual, physical performance that blends documentary theatre with movement and music, Projekt Europa brings together a multilingual, migrant ensemble to share their own memories alongside Lučkay’s, interweaving their stories to create something communal out of what at first seems individual.
