Tomorrow, we’re thrilled to welcome Zsófi Rebeka Kozma as a panelist for A Conversation with Hungarian Theatre and Performance Artists: Theatre From The Streets after Regime Change.

Zsófi served as the curator of the Theatre From The Streets Hungary project in 2022, helping bring together artists, activists, and theatre makers for a powerful international exchange. We are honored to have her return for this next chapter of the conversation.

Zsófi Rebeka Kozma is a performance artist, theatermaker and organizer based in Budapest. She believes that theatre can serve as a space for highlighting social inequalities and igniting change. She uses the presence of the audience and performative actions to bring attention to exploitative working conditions, the withdrawal of the state, and explores the role of the embedded artist. She collaborates with people from different backgrounds, including trade unions, social movements, social scientists, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, and other theatre makers.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈🎭

This week on Theatre History Thursday, we’re exploring the early q***r influences that helped shape theatre history. Long before LGBTQ+ identities could be openly celebrated, q***r artists, performers, writers, and communities were leaving their mark on stages around the world—challenging norms, expanding artistic expression, and helping redefine what theatre could be.

Watch this Theatre History Thursday right here on Instagram, and visit the link in our bio to access the full Theatre History Thursday YouTube playlist and learn even more theatre history from around the world.

To kick off Caribbean Heritage Month, we're going to be highlighting women who wrote plays from our On Her Shoulders database throughout the month. Our playwright today was born in Cuba.

GERTRUDIS GOMEZ DE AVELLANEDA was a Cuban-born novelist, playwright, and poet. Her family moved to Spain in 1836, where she started writing as "La Peregrina" (The Pilgrim) and published her first volume of poems. She lived there until 1859, when she moved back to Cuba with her second husband until his death in 1863, after which she moved back to and remained in Spain. Gomez was a prolific writer and is considered to be one of the greatest female poets of her era. Her plays are distinctive for their poetic diction and lyrical passages, and are based chiefly on historic models. Her most famous work the antislavery novel Sab, published in Madrid in 1841.
