Roma Armee – a roma hadsereg
Roma Armee – The Roma Army

Summary/Abstract: The repertoire policy of the Maxim Gorki Theatre from Berlin is strongly influenced by the discussion of social issues, including the specific problems of minorities. Roma Armee, directed by Yael Ronen, is based on the personal biographical narratives of Roma performers from five different countries (Austria, Sweden, Romania, England, and Germany). Their individual stories, linked within a revue-esque format, reflect the current experiences of the Roma identity, including such aspects as the search for identity itself, the feeling of belonging, poverty, exclusion, and political struggle, leading to the idea of a Roma revolution and reaching its emancipatory​ conclusion through the search for the new heroes of the Roma people.
