A Rom from Feather-Bed or Enter Majority
created: 23. 03. 2023 11:57 modified: 23. 03. 2023 12:08
A monodrama, the author is František Balog who also plays the title role, is based on his own life story. Jovial and witty, with large dose of sarcasm, the scenes from the life of the Romani boy growing in orphanage are accompanied by songs sung by the actor who also plays piano. The drama illustrates the principal events and meetings, successes and failures which shaped the protagonist from his childhood to adulthood. The autobiographic elements make the monodrama an extremely personal statement of the most sensitive talented artist who inspite of his social handicap is able to find his own place in life and achieve his goals without losing his compassion and optimism. The under title of the drama – Enter Majority insinuates – according to its author – his own coming of age and becoming adult; in the same time it speaks about acts of people who smuggled him into the mainstream society, something what first seemed next to impossible. The monodrama is performed in RS9 Színház in Budapest, Hungary, during the program of the theater festival Roma Heroes.
Screenplay - František Balog; Director - Juraj Bielik; Performer – František Balog
