    Dance From the Heart (DFTH) presents Domari, Sat, Sept 10 at  7:30pm and Sun, Sept 11 at 2:30pm, in the IW Marks Theatre Center, Kaplan Theatre, Jewish Community Center.

    In 1534 (during the reign of King Henry VIII), the English Parliament passed the Egyptians Act, requiring all Romani (more commonly known as “Gypsies”, “Travelers”, or “Summer Walkers”) to leave Great Britain or be arrested, dispossessed and deported. Many years later, Queen Mary amended this ineffective act to include not just the dispossession of the Romani, but the death of any “Egyptian” still in the country.

    Our setting is 16th century Scotland, and our story involves the Romani that came to Stirling and the Scots they encountered while there. We see the relationships built by people of diverse cultures, despite the challenges that surround them. Most of all, we see examples of bravery and sacrifice when least expected.

    A story of friendship, family, prejudice, tolerance, acceptance and love.
