Roma Armee's Call to Arms: Fostering Non-Territorial Community through Theatre.

This article examines how the Sinti and Roma theatre production *Roma Armee* (2017) fosters non-territorial, transnational communities that challenge traditional ethnic, spatial, and national definitions of belonging. Presented at Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater, *Roma Armee* uses autobiographical storytelling, drag performance, and political cabaret to explore a Roma-centered "army" as a symbolic, activist movement aimed at combating stereotypes and advocating for Roma self-representation, intersectional feminism, and queer visibility. The performance highlights internal tensions within Roma communities regarding identity, terminology, and cultural practices, while emphasizing solidarity across diverse backgrounds and marginalized groups. By drawing on postmigrant and feminist theatre traditions, *Roma Armee* envisions community formation grounded in shared political activism rather than fixed ethnic or national identities.
