The Roma from the Duvet or Enter the Majority


What is life in a children's home like?
Who takes care of the children?
What rules shall they obey and how can they bend them?

This play, based on the life of František Balog, founder of Actor Theatre in Košice, presents scenes from the morning routine of the children's home where he grew up. Moreover, he tells us about his love life in the foster home and how a piano can hinder this love. The play is hilarious and at the same time conveys an serious message on how important it is to have motivation in life, devote time to ourselves and find our peace.

The play was supported by Visegrád Fund and the Slovak Institute. The performance was hosted by RS9 Theatre in Budapest.

Camp Hero

Is media for or against us? In what way does the media affect today? How can an article which is written for help change people's destiny? “The neighbours of the Roma camp in District X brought to our attention that for a few weeks now the people in the community have stopped using the public fountain which was the only water source they had. We went to the camp to investigate this mystery and found out that Viorica, ¨the man of the day¨, built a pipe system that fuels every household with water. The authorities should know, because this is an illegal act and the Roma are basically stealing water from the tax-paying citizens.” - Rome Daily The journalist goes to the camp to show Viorica the article she wrote and to congratulate her for becoming the camp hero. Viorica: But in this article you say that we are doing an illegal thing. Journalist: Yes, but I also helped you get to the authorities and made your problem public. Nobody would have done this for you....

What Counts as a Punishment?

What can a schoolgirl do to fight injustice? What do we look for in pedagogues? What can we do for our children to be taught of equality and accepting each other in school? In primary school, I always sat in the first or second row. I hated it! I always wanted to sit in the last row because there, I could have been next to the window watching the whole class. From time to time, some of the "worst" boys were seated next to me. The rules for table plan were the following: 1.   bad students sit next to good students 2.   if you are a good student and do something wrong (which happened to me quite often) then you will get a Gypsy next to you For a few days or for months, it depended on the scale of the punishment. I liked those boys because they found this process unfair, too. I had three seatmate by this method in the first four years of primary school. When teachers realized that this seating arrangement was no problem for us and we even made friends, I ...

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.
