In I Declare at My Own Risk Alina Şerban attempts an unusual and brave thing. Consciously accepting her Roma heritage, she talks with brutal honesty about her most personal experiences and life wisdom, about her grievances, about being humiliated, excluded, not knowing where she belongs – all the while avoiding sentimentality. She shares diary entries and photos with us strangers, while calling up various episodes of her life from the time she was ten years old, when her family was evicted from their home and were forced to move to relatives in a “gypsy ghetto” in Bucharest.

David Schwartz was born in 1985 in Bucharest. He got a degree in stage direction in 2007 at the National University of Theatre and Cinematography in Bucharest, followed by a degree in contemporary stage direction (MA) in 2009. He is one of the founding members of tangaProjekt, an independent theatre platform. He works with underpriviliged communities and is interested in social and political questions.
Teatrul LUNI de la Green Hours is the MONDAY Theatre founded in the Green Hours jazz club and coffee house. In the beginning, theatre performances were only held on Monday nights – hence the name – but later almost every day of the week. This was the first coffee house theatre in Romania, where the most courageous and most innovative performances are born to this day.
