How to Live Beautifully - A Gypsy Ballad

The performance "How to Live Beautifully - A Gypsy Ballad" by Aleksandra Czerczyńska is a vibrant poetic-musical narrative about the history and life of Romani caravans, based on the poetry of Romani poet Papusza.

A story of a world that exists only in books and old photographs. A world that captivated with its mysticism and mystery, full of magic, music, and legends. Gorgeously colorful with live music, it entertains, moves, and educates.
