Performance in counter-concert format, presented in a 25-min version at Blinken OSA Archivum – Galeria Centralis, Budapest, 2025.

“Freedom Trap” (version 2025) is a performance in counter-concert format that employs musical, rhythmic, and vocal techniques, and brings together performers from a range of diverse professional fields to interpret two distinct yet interrelated texts. The first part reimagines Tibor Hajas’s “Freedom Industry Broadcast, Channel IV” (1973). Serving as a kind of counterposition, this is followed by excerpts from archival secret-agent and police reports documenting Hajas’s 1973 performance in Balatonboglár and describing the context of the Chapel Studio.
