Capitalism For Children Takes Over Trafó

Playful performance “Capitalism for Children” at Trafó blends video, mockumentary, and tabletop diorama to decode markets with wit and DIY rigor. Live Feb 6–7, 2026 in Budapest.
when: 2026. February 6., Friday - 2026. February 7., Saturday
where: Hungary, Trafó

Orsolya Fodor and Péter Varsányi team up for the first time to crack the code of capitalism — with wit, DIY rigor, and a detour through the internet’s strangest rabbit holes. Like every serious research project, theirs starts on Quora, then spirals all the way to a tribe that accidentally invented capitalism. What unfolds is a sharp, playful excavation of what lies on this system’s horizon — and beyond it.

Video, Model Worlds, and Mock Truths

The show stitches together video, a tabletop diorama game, mockumentary flair, and a lecture-performance to map the machinery and myth of markets. Expect shifting scales, slippery facts, and a hands-on logic that turns theory into spectacle. It’s part investigation, part performance lab, part social satire — and fully live.

Dates and Venue

Capitalism for Children hits the stage at Trafo House of Contemporary Arts (Trafó) from Friday, February 6, to Saturday, February 7, 2026. Sometimes the best way to explain a system is to play it.
