About the event
In the middle of last year, a unique theater project was conceived, including a Roma amateur theater Trajo (Život). This is a follow-up project of a similar theater which was active in the 1960s. The founder of both theaters, today and in the 1960s, is Roma writer Ilona Ferková.
She is also the co-author of the play Djelem, djelem, which deals with migration to the United Kingdom.
The author of the script is talented Kateřina Volánková, who collected individual stories of the Roma from Rokycany, and created a unique story and the way of storytelling. Kateřina, a professional theater director, is also the director of this play which features amateur Roma actors from Rokycany.
The authentic story featuring the experience of several Rokycany women from their migration to Britain, evoke a controversial mixture of emotions - sadness, joy, gaiety, humor. Spectators are fully drawn into the action throughout the play.
The assistant director and author of the music is Miro Bartoš, professional Pilsen theater opera singer.
Don’t forget, you can enjoy the premiere of the first performance of the Roma theater Trajo at the D21 theater on May 30!
