LJC News - IETM Workshop Budapest: "What is Roma theatre worth today?"

Independent Theater Hungary is organising a workshop for theatrical and cultural journalists and theatre professionals. The Company has been a member of IETM - International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts since 2021 - with their support they have the possibility to organise this workshop starting at 5:30 pm on April 28 at the Goethe Institute in Budapest, Hungary. The leaders of the workshop will be Rodrigó Balogh, director and producer of the Independent Theater Hungary; Márton Illés, playwright, operational director of the Independent Theater Hungary, and Noémi Herczog, theater critic, university professor.

Topics of the workshop:

• Roma theatre and drama history in a nutshell
• Learn about the content of the upcoming Roma Heroes - Digital Collection of European Drama and Theater (open for the public from 5 May 2022)
• Moderated discussion on the nature of the Roma theatre, representation and the reception of the Roma theatre
• Open, interactive conversation

Independent Theater believes that not only the European GRT (Gypsy Roma Traveler) communities, but also members of the majority society and representatives of the majority culture will be enriched by learning about the works of the various theatre performers and the heroes they present through a common dialogue.

 

This project is part of the IETM Local Journeys for Change activity which is supported by the European Union as part of the IETM Network Grant 2022-2024 NIPA: the New International in the Performing Arts.
