Review of Viscult festival, Joensuu, Finland 2.–5.10.2008
Benjamin needs to claim his right as a member of Roma minority in Finland, as youth and as a homosexual. Although he lives in a fairly tolerant and equal society, due to his ethnicity, sexuality and age he is not able to benefit from it. Instead he experiences double or even triple marginalization which poses on him the need to grow up much earlier than his Finnish peers normally do.
