For five years, acting student Anna Torner travelled across the world, documenting her experiences and inner journey in blog posts. From London to South America, from India to New Zealand, her travel journals eventually grew into her 2024 novel, Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either), which traces a young woman’s coming-of-age through her diary entries.
In 2025, Boglárka Berecz and Mátyás Dögei adapted the book for the stage, with Péter Vargyas composing its music and writing the lyrics. Thus was born the monodrama Wandering the World, Wondering How to Return–a sensitive and humorous theatrical piece that takes the audience through this intimate journey of self-discovery.
Throughout Anna Torner’s creative path – moving between writing and acting – her blog posts evolved into works of literary merit, while acting became a defining part of her life.
Join us for this special performance, which aims to offer us all relatable touchstones and answers.
The performance runs 1 hour and 15 minutes and will be performed in English.
