Streetwise Opera Presents Fables: A Film Opera

‘Stories of survival, rebellion, greed and love come to life in a remarkable marriage of music and film.’ - Independent on Sunday

Latcho Drom (Safe Journey)

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 - 20:30

Tony Gatlif's extraordinary film traces Gypsy-Romany culture from its desert origins in Rajastan to the streets of Andalucia. This visually stunning musical travelogue eavesdrops on Romany communities in Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and France. A little-known gem of a film, ideal for cultural explorers and fans of groups like Taraf de Haidouks—who feature in the film's Romanian segment, unaffected back in 1993 by their subsequent international stardom.
