LEGACYThe place where it happens
Sessions blend ensemble play, scene-making, and real conversation—turning daily life, memory, and pressure into theatre that can be shared in courtyards, community rooms, and occasionally on formal stages when the community chooses.
Cultural exchange
What we learn
We learn what stigma does to a neighborhood—and how story can reverse the gaze with dignity and precision.
What we share
We share theatre tools that turn lived experience into crafted performance: structure, rhythm, humor, and ensemble accountability.
Community & context
Košice includes some of the most stigmatized Roma housing estates in the region. This work helped youth flip the narrative—moving from being spoken about to being heard on their own terms.
Shared community needs
- Transportation support for youth across multiple neighborhoods/estates
- Sustained support for Roma-led teaching artists
- Resources to remount legacy pieces for new generations
