Franciska Farkas shares her thoughts on
her career in the theatre, her Gypsy identity, her pride and her own hero: her
mother. She makes an honest confession about why she chose acting: "I've
tried several things, had many jobs, but where I can give the most of myself
that's acting." Her hero is her mother, Ágnes Farkas journalist, first in
the family with a university degree. "I got my strength and curiosity from
her". Franciska's message to the youngsters is: "you are human, just
like anyone else, you have a right to everything. Stand tall, be brave and
proud, and do whatever you feel like."
Where do we really come from? Where does the centuries-long persecution of Gypsy people date back? Where did we travel around and how did kings and princes treat us? The tale of an old Roma women provides insight to the history of Roma people. She begins her tale on Gypsy odyssey with creation myths, but the story gets worse and worse and it does not improve during the Habsburg rule and reaches rock bottom during the 2nd World War. After having lost half of the family, may communism bring some relief? The old woman believes so, but her daughter who just arrives home does not agree. Let's face the past together to be able to build a better future! The Czech ARA Art company invites us to an extraordinary historic journey in a new theatrical form, using elements of circus arts too.
