Duplicity by Viktória Jeli & István Tasnádi
Two teenagers, 14 and a 15 years old, get to know each other in a chat room. They are absolutely honest about everything, except one thing: the most important…One part of the audience accompanies the girl, while the other part makes the journey with the boy shifting away from one another – to each other. The two shows run parallel to each other and merge at the end. Apart from the main characters – the girl, the boy and their avatars – there are the personifications of different digital applications: Wifiman and Hideman. Both – just like in a fairy tale – are companions to the heroes through their journey.
