10 year old Denisa is an outcast in many ways. She is an illegal citizen of a gypsy camp in Poland, a woman in a patriarchal gypsy community and most of all she doesn’t speak
No one has ever diagnosed her with severe hearing disabilities. She lives in a world of her own, full of rhythm and dance, imitating the glamorous women from the Bollywood DVDs she found in a nearby garbage can. Dancing she can be anyone she wants, even a queen, and express what she can‘t say – joy, sadness and fear.
The Queen of Silence screens at Salisbury Arts Centre on Wednesday 15 November at 7.30pm.
