"I
only need to forget. I shall forget, I promise you, for you, for me, I will go
for a surgery that will erase all scars and scratches from my childhood. I will
drain my blood to the last drop so that I will not hear its pulsating story and
I will transfuse fresh blood, I will wipe out from my memory all that has been
written down into it for years…"
The play presents the inner struggle of a young Roma
woman who has left the Bulgarian ghetto, has a profession, got hired for an
office job and wants to assimilate into the majority’s world. She wants to
erase her childhood phantasies crowded with elephants and acrobats as well as
the real challenges and difficulties of her friends and family. But is it
possible to forget our roots and deny ourselves?
The protagonist talks about herself and her human
relations without drafting concepts of the enemy. The positive message of the
play is boosted by heart-warming humour.
