CALL ME BY MY NAME

A musical-performative theater evening with European Sinti:zze and Rom:nja

THE BEAUTIFUL MINDS e.V.

What do you see when you see me? What do I see when I look at me? What do I see when I look at you? Every day, Sinti:zze and Rom:nja move in a world of foreign attributions and prejudices. Numerous clichés and stereotypes are projected onto them from the outside. But what if reality deviates from these cemented images? And what if it doesn't?

Together with Sinti:izze and Rom:nja from Hungary and Germany, director and Sinto Stefan Herrmann tells of empowerment and self-assertion, of double exclusion, of stereotypes reproduced again and again and the attempt to invalidate them. With the ensemble of the Hungarian dance group "Romano Glaszo" he asks: How can the visibility of one's own identity function in a world full of prejudices? And what price am I willing to pay for my struggle to overcome resistance?
