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...

I don’t want special treatment! – Alina Serban in conversation

Alina presented her auto-biographical play, I declare at my own risk, at Roma Heroes Festival. The play provides insight into the difficult moments of Alina’s life, her important decisions, her often controversial but always true thoughts and feelings. According to the actress who got to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London from a Romanian Gypsy yard, having climbed a mountain doesn’t mean that you have arrived. You may get some rest before you start climbing another mountain. She claims that we must consider carefully what Roma image we show and how it reinforces the superficial stereotypes that are present in many people. The human similarity is much more important than otherness. Roma theatre is theatre, same as non-Roma theatre. It is vital not to treat Roma people, nor Roma theatre as something ‘special’. If the topic and the artistic realisation is good enough, the artists should be in the mainstream instead of a cultural ghetto – from where they can step out on som...

The Perfect Grandma

We all need role models, heroes in our life whose acts and qualities serve as examples. Sometimes it takes time to realize that real heroes are all around us. Find your own hero! Oh, my darling granny. She loved us, her family, she did whatever she could for us. She was a vibrant ball of energy. She rushed from one grandchild to the other whole day long. She helped with household chores, made jam, cooked our favorite granny-cakes like no one else. She often told us about our badass grandpa and she kept loving, loving and loving. Words cannot express what she means to me even today. No doubt she had a huge impact both on my mother and me. We got the love and solidarity of the family from her. She lived her life with sacrifices and an everlasting smile on her face, she lived for us and for our happiness. We learned only after her death that besides everyday care, she had a secret that she never told anyone. A stray paper found after her death revealed this secret. My grandm...
