An evening of radical visibility: The gala of self-presentation is the grand finale of this year's ROMADAY program - loud, self-determined and resistant. International Roma* and Sinti* artists from different contexts take to the big stage and celebrate their stories. With machete and fire shows, acrobatics, dance, music, live painting, storytelling and much more. A political spectacle that challenges the normative view and opens up the stage for self-presentation and collective strength.
