Roma Heroes - Rewritten
Roma Heroes – Rewritten
The month dedicated to international Roma theatre
This month-long programme brings together companies and artists from various European countries who, through different languages – theatre, music, performance, stand-up, and round tables – restore space, voice, and representation to the Roma community.
To rewrite means not only to reclaim one’s own history, but also to disobey an oppressive language and to affirm an artistic and political presence capable of transforming the way we look, listen, and imagine.
Today, in a Europe that often continues to relegate the Roma community to the margins, a new generation speaks out with determination: rejecting stereotypes and barriers, asserting the right to exist fully, to denounce injustice, and to be heard.
This programme places their leadership at the centre, highlighting the voices and stories of those who, through art and personal courage, are redefining the way we tell stories and imagine the world.
Theatre Festival
6 | 7 | 8 November 2025
Spin Time, Auditorium on Via di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme 55, Rome
Organized by Rampa Prenestina APS
with the support of Spin Time Labs and the Tavolo Cultura
Three days of theatre as a space of cultural resistance, collective expression, and shared rewriting of reality.
From the reworking of forgotten historical events, as in Cannibals by Independent Theater Hungary, to a dialogue with the classics in Waiting for Bo by Rampa Prenestina—which intertwines Beckett’s sense of waiting with that of two young Roma people in a camp—to the search for new forms of self-representation in the work-in-progress Ko sem me?
