💨 Abstract

Tudor Lakatos, 58, uses Elvis Presley tribute performances in Romania to combat discrimination against the Roma people. Lakatos, who also teaches, integrates Romanian, Romani, and English into his shows. He aims to inspire Roma children and challenge stereotypes, having begun his journey in the 1980s during a repressive communist regime. Lakatos seeks mutual respect and education, despite enduring derogatory language himself.
