Kali Traš is a dramatisation of Roma author, Valerică Stănescu’s Cu Moartea-n Ochi (Facing Death) book. Perhaps the most brutal, significant and widely overlooked chapter in Roma history, Kali Traš tells the gut-wrenching story of the Roma Holocaust under the political regime of Antonescu. We follow a travelling theatre company of Roma performers in the 1940s as their lives are impacted by the immediate threat of deportation to Transnistria.
