“Just Keep Exploiting Yourself” - Mental Health, Well-Being and Professional Burnout in Theatrical Creative Processes

Summary/Abstract: The leaders of the focus group interview were Izabella Kasza and Enikő Szőke. The transcript of the conversation was edited by Réka Biró and Katalin Deák. The group of eleven participants in the discussion, which took place in May 2022, included cultural managers, a university lecturer, a visual designer, dramaturgs and actors between the ages of 20 and 50, both freelancers and permanent employees of different theatres. The main questions in the focus group interview were: What are the symptoms of professional burnout? Do we recognize these? What conditions can accelerate burnout? Who is responsible for it? What is the relationship between burnout, exploitation by others, and self-exploitation? Who can one turn to? Is it possible at all to talk about these issues in a theatre institution? And finally, what would we include in a first aid kit that would help us prevent burnout? And what about the survival kit to be used in case of acute burnout? The report sheds light on the situation of Transylvanian theatre creators in the spring of 2022 as regards mental health and professional burnout.
