Országépítők
Country Builders - The final part of the Fathers and Sons trilogy
While many see the majority of Gypsies as unemployed, Roma workers have long played a prominent role in building houses in Hungary. Initially in the field of adobe bricklaying, later in brickworks and then in the construction industry in general, the role of Roma has become increasingly important, sometimes clinging to their identity, sometimes abandoning it. What can a family achieve in three generations from the 1960s to the present day? And what is the cost of change?

Theater piece in hungarian.
Independent Theater Hungary
“You choose: If you see the other people as a problem, no matter what you do, the situation becomes worse and worse but if you see them as a partner, they become your partner.”
Independent Theater Hungary has been operating since 2007. Our aim is to start a conversation about social issues that touch all of us, this way drawing attention to personal responsibility: what we, as individuals can do to improve the situation.
It doesn’t matter where you come from, but it is important for us what you think of the world and what you do for it. We would like to achieve that the young people would be able to live together regardless of from their origin and would do a lot together so that we can live in a more hospitable country. Through our artistic and educational programmes, we work for it.
