“(… And yet again we slept pindral) is the very first fully professional Roma theatre performance in our history. (…) Attractive workmanship combines drama, theatre with objects, storytelling and contemporary circus elements. “

ABOUT the theater
The ARA ART Theater Company remains the only representative of professional Romani theater in the Czech Republic. Its main intention is to increase visibility of Romani actors in public space as well as visibility and presentation of such actual and burning issues connected to Roma community which usually have no space in mainstream culture.
The ARA ART Theater Company is still growing and constantly works on new theater projects.
