A play
about a Roma man from Bucharest who lost his life in a police action and whose
death was not forgotten either by his community or the creators of the play.
They followed up on the court proceedings of the case and did not let the
murder go unpunished. The play "You didn’t see anything",
directed by David Schwartz and performed by Alex Fifea, presents a real-life
detective story. The case caused an uproar in Bucharest and the artists
tried as they might to present faithfully what happened and how justice was
served.
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.
