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...

Letter to my 14 years old self

If you had the opportunity to talk to your 15-year-old self, what would you say? What would you say thank you for? What would you warn her about? What qualities would you be proud of? What advice would you give to your younger self? Dear Kinga! I’m writing you this letter because today afternoon we have talked about heroes. I was asked who I consider to be a hero in my life and why. Immediately I wondered if I can be my own hero – why not? This letter is to my 15-year-old self, with lots of love. There are a few things that you don’t know yet (you are good at writing poetry, rollerblading is not for you, it was a great decision to dye your hair) but I do already. And to this very day there are a few things that I learn from you. I know that you like to be comfortable, too, there is something very warm and reassuring in being safe. But this is not enough for you, you leave your comfort zone again and again. You stand up for yourself, for other people, for your principles and truth, for ...

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 ...
