Ján Ďurovčík (choreography and direction):

"Years ago I participated as a choreographer in the musical version of this work, and even then I had the idea that it would be wonderful to process this theme, this culture and this story as a dance performance.

Well, who else could one wish for such cooperation as the Gypsy Devils.

What is created under our hands fills us with pride.

And there was also a desire to join forces with Saška Grusková, a Slovak, now world-famous artist, with whom we have created several wonderful works. I believe that the new theater space STARS the auditorium will add even more brilliance to this performance."

Ernest Šarközi (music):

"Gypsies go to heaven is a title that has been associated with me since early childhood.

I remember when I was five years old with my parents for the first time in the cinema. That's when I began to realize my Roma origin and I gave my parents a lot questions. For many years I carried the idea of processing this work in my head. When the offer came from Jan Ďurovčík, I was filled with a feeling of happiness, but also a huge responsibility to satisfy the director, as well as the audience, who are used to the original version.

I remember when Janko Ďurovčík gave me the first assignment he says. The phone rang and he said it was great. I was happy that we sat down with each other. I hope that the audience will feel the same joy from our work and enthusiasm as we did during the creation of this new work."
