Aliens with Extraordinary Skills, first premiered in 2008 as a production of Women’s Project was remarkably successful. Éva Patkó created the Hungarian version, which will appear in Játéktér for the first time. The main characters of the play are a pair of clowns emigrating from Moldavia to New York.

The dark comedy follows the adventures of the clowns – „who possess​ the extraordinary skill to make people and animals laugh” – with the immigration system and its representatives.
