Have you ever heard about the Boogie Man?

Most often, I am the one to take my little girl to the kindergarten. The doorman tells the same joke every morning when he sees us: "Where are you running pretty girl, where are you running, the Gypsies will get you and they'll put you in a bag!”  What can the Roma father do or say if in the evenings, his daughter is afraid of the Gypsy taking her away in a bag? What can we do if our children are scared by other people with the false and stereotypical image of their own community's members? What would you do or say if the doorman at the kindergarten planted fear in the soul of your child? Would you raise your voice? And if you did, would your child be present? What would you do if she were present and listened to how others keeps telling mystic hogwash about your community, and thus about you? I hope you will not have to face these dilemmas. Alex Fifea actor, in the play "You didn't see anything" shares a personal confession with us.

You didn't see anything

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.
