Between May 5 and 9, Independent Theater Hungary organized the 8th Roma Heroes International Theater Festival in Budapest. At the festival, British, Italian, Romanian, and Hungarian Roma artists demonstrated through stand-up performances, satirical monodramas, live arts, music, and Q&A sessions how humor can become a weapon that liberates theater from the captivity of drama and victimhood.
The festival’s stand-up shows and monodramas will also be available online on the HowlRound platform from September 14 to 19.
The winning project of the Stand Up Roma call for proposals, launched in collaboration with Trafó and the Independent Theatre Hungary.
Everyone has heard, or perhaps even said, something about someone: “Gypsy, but cool!” Rudi has heard it too. About himself. These three words, intended as recognition, contain a surprising amount of meaning on both a personal and social level. What impact do these three words have? What does it take to overcome our prejudices, and can we overcome them completely?
