Tschandala – The Romani Version

With support from guitarist William Larsen, the actor, singer and Romani activist Lindy Larsson gives a personal theatre concert in which he traces his roots. He gives a voice to the Romani Travellers and uncovers a blind spot in Swedish history that still echoes in our present. A musical manifestation, electrifying Romani music without a safety net, a measure protecting a vulnerable minority, the Romani people. This evening is a revision of Swedish history and a critical perspective on Strindberg and his anti-Romani novel Tschandala.
 
For Tschandala – The Romani Version Lindy Larsson was awarded: the Swedish Theatre Critics Prize 2022, Stockholm City Honorary Award for Theatre 2023 and the Katarina Taikon Prize for human rights defenders 2023. Tschandala - The Romani Version was selected for the 2023 Swedish Biennial for Performing Arts.
 
Tschandala – The Romani Version (original title: Tschandala/Tattaren) is produced in collaboration with Strindberg’s Intima Teater in Stockholm.
