]]> In “Romanistan,” three young artists explore what it means to be Roma. At the same time, it’s a plea to view history not simply as a past, but as a living and present story, residing in the bodies of the new generation searching for a right to exist and recognition without having to hide or deny their identity.

The play will be presented in De Lindenberg in Nijmegen on Sunday, October 19.

At the same time, it is a plea to view history not simply as a past, but as a living and contemporary story, residing in the bodies of the new generation who are searching for a right to exist and recognition without having to hide or deny their identity.
