Late Messages


A message that will never be answered any more. What message would you send to someone who has passed away? Write it down! These are the messages of the Roma Heroes workshop's participants to the loved ones who are not with them any more. What would you add? Who would you address it to?

1.You do not age any more
You stand still
Thinking I'm a high school student
But in fact I work!

2.I look most like you
I drive angrily
And I throw tantrums a lot
I hope you can also see it from there

3. I don't know how old you are 
Your memory is greyness 
Your flowers are beautiful 
You never forget about them! 

------------------  
1.Is gone, doesn't exist
The words hang in the air
I cannot find the door handle
Mummy, I'm gay!

2. Birth, death
Leaf, dream, move
Incomplete eternity
Daddy, hold my daughter in your arms!

3. Moveless monotony. 
Death stumbles without farewell 
Last minute no 
I keep you in my mind.
_ _ _

There is nothing left but fury
And a photo at Lake Balaton.
Endless longing.
Father’s love to the daughter.

You were buried alive.
Countless attempts
Always hitting hard walls.
But you are alive, there is hope.
Maybe there will be mercy
Daughter’s love to the father.

_ _ _

Because you said
Every marriage is like this
And mom stayed,
Granny why didn't you talked to her?

I never live in-up-out
I thought clean-wit-belligerently
Then it changed
If I can send a letter to the past
There would be no worries

_ _ _

Granny you are dead.
You didn't see your grandchild.
You didn't bake cakes for her.
I have no memories with you.

Tales are dumb,
'Cause you don't read them.
Even death can't do without you.
But I need you, too. I miss you!

We Are Unstoppable

What does family, parents and siblings mean to us? What do we do for our family members and what does the family do for us? How can we help each other in life? My story is about my younger brother, I consider him a hero in my life. Gábor is a simple man with a huge heart who is very honest and enduring. His endurance in work makes him a real hero. He works 16 hours five days a week as a cook; he gets up every morning and goes to work because that’s his job. He was 18 when he got a great opportunity to work abroad as a chef, naturally making much more money than here, at home. Had he accepted it, his life would have changed radically, but he didn’t want to leave me and our mom alone. It is just the three of us and we would never leave each other. He has superhuman strength. He moved in with Mom who had to be cared for because of her health, but we never felt that is a burden; we are one and everyone does their bit without complaint – Gábor works, Mom takes care of the household, I s...

If you can’t find a book, write it yourself! – Richard R. O’Neill in conversation

The Hungarian premier of the play ‘ The Hardest Word’ by the British writer and storyteller took place at Roma Heroes Festival. The story is about a Scottish woman who gets it into her head to force the first minister to apologise for the centuries-long discrimination of Scottish travellers. His other play, ‘ The Management Reserves the Right’ focuses on the everyday practice of Scottish barmen not letting Traveller guests enter the pub. The heroes of his plays, just as Richard himself, turn to other people as equal partners with smiling firmness – no matter whether the other is the first minister or the barman. Richard believes that  –  even in hard times  –  it is indispensable to keep our sense of humour and respect each other: that is how we can get on. Books and writing have outstanding importance in Roma and Gypsy communities: the world will get to know our point of view, our children will find plays or even tales portraying their own culture only if we ...

Be better than the others! – Dijana Pavlovic in conversation

The actress, now living in Italy but coming from the former Jugoslavia, had given up socio-political activism for a while as she had experienced too many losses because of her activism. She wanted to be ‘just’ an actress. However, she couldn’t turn a blind eye to the injustice both in her homeland and in the country of her choice, to the communities left alone, to the stories never told. Her play presented at the festival,  Speak, my life!, shows the decades-long genocide of Jenish people in Switzerland, which was surrounded by dead silence, through the eyes of the author Mariella Mehr, who herself was one of the victims. As an activist, Dijana fights against the discrimination that Roma communities face and strives to establish and put into action the European Roma Institute, the goal of which is to promote the creation and dissemination of works by Roma artists. In all her life, Dijana have found it important to fight instead of pitying herself whenever she faced any challe...
