In 2012, a tragedy took place in Sfantu Gheorghe. Nine people died in an accident at work. The trailer they were in was trashed by a train when they came back from the potato picking. They were daily workers. They were Roma people. The incident, though extremely serious, had little echo in the media. Local authorities did their duty by helping the families of the deceased to lead their relatives on the final road. It’s been almost six years since then.

In 2012, a tragedy took place in Sfantu Gheorghe. Nine people died in an accident at work. The trailer they were in was trashed by a train when they came back from the potato picking. They were daily workers. They were Roma people. The incident, though extremely serious, had little echo in the media. It’s been almost six years since then.
Stage director Radu Afrim, together with “Andrei Mureşanu” Theatre team, brings the event to public attention – the public was pretty absent at the time of the tragedy – giving them now the chance to be with the families of the victims many years after it happened. The new documentary show speaks in the future about the past: what the families of the victims have done all these years, where they are now, what they remember about the event, how they went on with their lives and how it is today… those are just a few of the many questions explored.
“The perfornance is about loss and survival. And after the perfornance – it is about solidarity.” (Radu Afrim)
