“Pornography: do not get your hopes up, dear viewer, you will not see naked actors on stage. Pornography: do not get your hopes up, dear viewer, you will only see nudity on stage, the plethora of political pornography. Porn: A fictitious pseudonym. The pseudonym does not obscure reality: it uncovers and rapes it. None of us can escape the scope of political pornography, even the blind can see what is happening: our votes are not enough, it is never enough, our bodies are also wanted, alongside our thoughts, our souls, our bedrooms. The most intimate spaces of our lives are no exception, there are no excuses, there are always three of us in bed, you, your love and the country’s generous leader.” - stated András Visky about the drama.

Cast: Éva Imre, Ferenc Sinkó and András Visky. The creative team includes director Árpád Árkosi; set and costume designer Gyopár Bocskai; composer Tibor Cári; stage movement coach Ferenc Sinkó and assistant director Alpár Fogarasi.

The Cluj premiere of Porno – The Story of My Wife will take place in the autumn, on our outdoor stage on the Someş river bank.
