We
work with the means of art and education so that the more people can:
get
objective informations and learn about different point of views
concerning the social issues that affect us all;
get
inspired through Roma dramas and Roma heroes;
revise
their attitudes about Roma communities and the relation between the
majority and the minority.
By
forming their own opinion and making their own decisions, they could
be active citizens who take responsibility while also respect other’s
point of view.
To
realize those purposes, in summer of 2017 we organized the "Roma
Heroes" First International Roma Storytelling Festival, where
the plays Alina Serban:
I
declare at my own risk,
Richard O'Neill: The
Hardest Word,
Dijana Pavlovic: Speak,
my life,
and Mihaela Dragan: Del
Duma - she speaks
were
performed and recorded on video.
Based
on the performances and the videos, we made an educational material
with the creators and the experts’ of our theatre.
With
the help of this methodology, we are going to run workshops in autumn
2017, where we analyze the plays with the youngsters and support them
to work with and perform their own stories about their own Roma
heroes in creative ways.
Independent
Theater is not a registered organisation.
For
their artistic and educational activities since 2004, Independent
Theater has received several awards among others by the UN Refugee
Agency’s prize, Ibsen Award, and Social Marie Award.
The
legal and financial representative of the theater is Women for the
Future Association.
