Victor Szeri (Hungary) - Fatigue

In a world where work is often seen as the measure of happiness and success, non-stop performance seems to be the only way to advance. But what happens when you actually reach a point where you feel completely drained? When you run out of energy and your body and mind are no longer in sync?

The solo show Fatigue is a poignant confrontation with the devastating consequences of burnout, like an inescapable shadow that gives spectators an inkling how narrow the line is between carrying on and suffering a complete burn out. With a dynamic that shifts between slow, deliberate movements and lightning-fast outbursts, Viktor Szeri shows how exhaustion not only weakens the body but also undermines the mind and the creative process. The spectator is drawn into an oppressive universe that is anchored in both club culture and performance art.

Fatigue exposes the raw reality of exhaustion but transforms that pain into something unexpectedly powerful. The inescapable rhythm of life becomes tangible, while the artistic performance balances between oppression and liberation. Szeri allows the audience to experience not only the threat of exhaustion, but also the resilience that can arise from it.
