Lindy Larsson and Bon Bon Band: Tschandala/Tattaren
The Swedish award-winning actor, singer and Roma activist artist Lindy Larsson, along with the multi-award-winning BonBon Band, explores an undisclosed part of Swedish history in their joint performance titled "Tschandala/Tattaren." The production, which recently won the Swedish Critics' Award, delves into various genres. The foundation of the show is August Strindberg's anti-Roma novel "Tschandala," as well as Larsson's personal and familial history. The artist himself hails from a Swedish traveling Roma family, who experienced unimaginable atrocities against the Roma in Sweden, which have never found their way into history books.
