native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. And while it is true that literature and history contain heroic, romantic, glorious, even triumphant episodes în an exile’s life, these are no more than efforts meant to overcome the crippling sorrow of estrangement. The achievements of exile are permanently undermined by the loss of something left behind forever.” (Edward Said, Reflections on Exile) People used to be hopeful about the future, believing that

Anyhow, the performance was really good and that’s why you go to the theatre, after all, not to learn more about the topic. Imagine my surprise when I found ouț later that, Iliescu’s accent notwithstanding, all those unbelievable things those people were talking about were for real. And that convoluted, grotesque, yet dramatic story, made up of pieces that

Partisans against Germans, all my life. În 1980, when our president Tito died, I hâd a feeling things would not go well, șo I told my dad there was gonna be a war. Because the tensions between the republics became more evident. Yugoslavia hâd 6 republics and 2 autonomous provinces. Dad used to say: “Shut up, what do you know?”, and I said: “You’ll see.” And that day came. When Slovenia split, there were no problems, the Yugoslav army simply

theater? Some say the theater should talk about beautiful things, not embark on a social critique. People have to see the other side of life, too. Maybe the good side covers up the bad side, except în life there’s more bad than good. Those who only want to see beauty în the theater are those who are afraid of life, of the truth. People need to know a lot of things - not just about refugees. Nobody talks about cancer patients

do you believe that theatre can enable these people improve their situation? Or will their situation ever change? This is a difficult question. I would like to believe that, but I see day-in day-out value systems changing. Young people are, more and more, wanting to get rich quickly. If theater can show them how to get money soonest, then it would make sense, but I see monetary value taking precedence over other values and it is saddening. În a context where

My own artistic plâns would involve making very short community message films. This ensures that more people get reached and work can be easily documented. Thank you very much.

Despite appearances, the ethnic tension is much more present în Szomolya, where the social processes after 1989 led to an obvious rift în the community (the settling of the Romă is seen by the ethnic Hungarians aș a “Gypsyfication” (<i>țiganizare</i>) of the village).

Actually, I don’ț know if it’s the racism în them or simply peer pressure, the fear of thinking în a different way.”

Initially focused on claims for judicial regulation and political rights for white, heterosexual women, the feminist discourse - or to puț it more accurately, some radical feminist positions - also focuses on sexual and gender minorities.

mere presence of artists and art în an urban area with real estate potențial automatically impacts the market price of a building and/or of the land on which it is situated.

The mechanism was usually simple: gentrification occurred în a neighborhood eyed by realtors and inhabited by vulnerable or simply “undesirable” social groups în the colonial logic of the capitalist real estate market. One or more groups of artists find the area attractive (low rents, “inspiration”) and are allowed a couple of years to settle în. Slowly, but surely, the area becomes interesting for the middle class. Artist owned galleries, bars and “bohemian” cafes crop up
