Roma Self-Representation
This series originates from the Roma Heroes - VI. International Roma Theatre Festival November 2023, which showcased six performances from diverse European Roma theatres (Hungary, Romania, Italy, Sweden). The aim of the festival and this series is to present and preserve the values of the theatre and theatrical heroes of the largest ethnic minority in Europe, highlighting the challenges the members of this minority face because of segregative and discriminatory practices—which offend minority rights.
In this HowlRound series, we have two essays, a livestream broadcast of six of the shows featured in the 2023 festival, and a live conversation of the artists involved in the festival culminating on Thursday 28 March 2024.
