“I can become a photographer or a secret agent, a smiling multi-soldier or a nodding public servant, but I can also become an assimilated blonde beauty or a Gypsy to be paraded in front of the others, if I feel like it. For a chameleon can join any queue and can fulfil any expectations. But sometimes she has to decide for herself, otherwise she’ll never live her own life.” – says the Chameleongirl.
The colleagues from Independent Theatre Hungary created this theatre piece for all Roma young people, with the wish that they can truly decide their own future and live in a society that supports the realisation of their diverse dreams. Their message: “See the value of Roma not only on International Roma Day, but all year round.”
