Budapesti bemutató - Hétből hat (Six out of Seven) / M Studio

The seventh place is empty. The final balance is lost with the death of the mother: the virtue that could have held the others together—love, faith, and hope—is lost before it could blossom.

Without it, the virtues become theoretical, unattainable ideals, while sins become, through silence and absence, hereditary, fixed forms of behaviour.

Through layers of memory and afterlife, the work explores how children’s morality is shaped by loss rather than guidance, by exaggeration rather than example.

Six Out of Seven confronts the shadow of childhood grief, asking whether virtue can be learned in the absence of tenderness and whether healing is possible when the person who embodied it is no longer present. The piece is a reflection on inheritance—not of beliefs or values, but of wounds—and the quietly devastating effect of growing up without a moral foundation to return to.
