Gypsy Boxer – the theater performance

Gypsy Boxer is a monodrama picturing the life of the German boxer of Romani (Sinti) origin Johann Wilhelm Trollman, known under the name „Rukeli“. In Nazi Germany Rukeli became the lightweight champion. Later on, he was stripped of the title because of his ethnical origin. Johann Trollman was in 1943 deported to concentration camp Neuengamme, where he was murdered.
