Hard To Be A God



Australian Premiere / Exclusive to Adelaide

Hungary

“Breathtaking East-European hardcore-reality theatre.”

Der Standard, Germany

Two trucks stand stationary at the side of a road. Goods are being exchanged: a small group of young women destined for a sickening, hellish end.

Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó fashions human trafficking, pornography and sects into gruelling, extreme theatre.

This explosive piece lurches between deep depravity and disturbing tenderness, challenging audiences to judge for themselves what is right and what is wrong in a small, psychotic world.

Sensitive material not suitable for viewers under 18
In Hungarian with English subtitles
