Cigány, de rendes – Forgács Rudolf és Said Dániel stand-up estje

“Rudi doesn’t steal. Dani isn’t a terrorist. These are shocking facts, since Rudi is half-gypsy and Dani is half-Arab.”

Rudolf Forgács is a young comedian from Transylvania, half-Roma, half-Székely, who recently graduated from the Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca. He is joined by Dániel Said, a half-Hungarian, half-Syrian comedian, a recurring performer at Showder Klub and Dumaszínház, who has lived his entire life in the 8th district.

“So Rudi is a gypsy musician, and Dani has the Music Gypsy Park nearby.

Maybe that’s why Rudi and Dani get along. Or maybe it’s because they both want to believe they’re “normal” – whatever that means. (Probably that they don’t steal and aren’t terrorists.)

Everyone has heard, and maybe even said, something about someone, “gypsy, but normal!” Rudi has heard it too. About himself. These three words, intended as recognition, contain a surprising amount of meaning on both a personal and social level. What impact do these three words have? What does it take to overcome our prejudices, and can we overcome them completely?”

The two comedians and the audience can feel the boundaries together: what can be made into a joke and what can’t. And all this for whom? At the end of the performance, everyone can decide for themselves what they think about the gypsy they saw on the stage of Vörös Neon, and whether this changes their opinion of those they haven't even met yet.
