THE FALLEN GYPSY
Based on the life story of Rom songwriter, poet and performer Bronislawa
Wajs (better known as Papusza), The Fallen Gypsy is a beautiful and
haunting theatrical experience about a talented woman caught between two
cultures - and forced to choose between her art and her people. 

In a psychiatric hospital in Silesia, Papusza re-lives her struggle to
communicate her people\'s often secretive culture and bittersweet legacy
to both Rom and Polish peoples. The first literate female Rom poet,
Papusza had illicitly learned the very non-Gypsy skill of reading and
writing, earning both the disapproval of her mother as well as the
suspicion of her community. When a number of her poems are published by
the dissident poet Ficowski, Papusza has to defend herself before a
Gypsy court on charges of betrayal.

Poetry, music, movement, song and flamenco interweave as Papusza
navigates the crevices between colliding worlds, daring all that is
forbidden to her as a Rom, a woman, an artist and a visionary.


This is the world premiere of an original multi-disciplinary Canadian
work.

Written & performed by Natalie Breton.
Directed by Linda Matassa.
