ROMÁLAND SCREENING at Gorki Studio Я
Anestis Azas and Prodromos Tsinikoris return to the Gorki in an attempt to get closer to the lives of Roma in Greece. This time, on the screen.
ERIAC in collaboration with Maxim Gorki Theater is organizing a video screening of “ROMÁLAND” on Thursday, November 14 starting at 19:30 at Gorki Studio Я. The video recording is in Greek & Romanes with English subtitles.

“From the worker accident at the collapsed bridge in Patras to the eight-year-old Olga in Keratsini, who was trapped by a sliding factory gate and died helpless, monstrous incidents of violence and indifference reveal that the Roma lives in Greece are often treated as “lives not worth living.”*.
(…)
Following months of research from Zefyri and Aspropyrgos to Thessaloniki, Larissa, and Serres, the “Romáland” performance aspires to tell an inverted journey across Greece’s contemporary history through the perspective of Roma. Ascribing to the tradition of the documentary theater genre, the performance is shaped by the participation of Roma protagonists, who narrate their real stories live, and aims to highlight the multiple social exclusions they face as well as their daily efforts to overcome them”.
* A phrase used by the Nazi regime to describe people it considered to have no “right to life.”
