„Even in pain is the joy every morning when you see what was not to be seen before“(collection of poems by Martin Oláh „E phuv“) Ode to Joy is not only the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th symphony, or Friedrich Schiller’s poem, but also the title of a music performance of talented Roma poet Martin Oláh, which you will be able to see at this year’s Khamoro. The young artist wants to call attention to the fact that everyone decides about his or her worldview, about what to focus on, what will become the part of his or her microcosm. Many nations have very different worldviews, including Roma. But there is an opportunity for all to get inspired and enriched. The Roma nation does not have their own state, their own territory, and so they have been globe-trotting for centuries and have been getting inspiration – and inspired others – from other nations while keeping their own identity. Ode to Joy is a unique opportunity for you to travel with Roma people all over the world to get enriched by cultures of other nations, and finally to pay tribute to Mother Nature for the gift of existence and creativity.
