Under the motto "The gypsies are back", the Theater an der Ruhr and Pralipe campaigned against the growing xenophobia in Germany in 1992/93. Ratvale Bijava was performed in Romanes in around 15 cities, including Halle, Hoyerswerda, Lübeck, Magdeburg, Munich and Rostock. After the performances, the actors sought to talk to the visitors. In 1998 Pralipe was invited to the MESS '98 International Theater Festival in Sarajevo with the production of Yerma . To mark the ten-year anniversary of the cooperation, the festival “10 Years of Roma Theater Pralipe” was organized in 2001, in which, in addition to various productions, an exhibition “Colors of Roma Children” was shown and invited to discussion events.
