"ROMNIA" is a celebration of gypsyness, according to Maya.
"A sometimes compassionate, sometimes joyful look at the plight of women, whose courage to survive has led them to a new ethical and aesthetic commitment," a press release on the performance states.
Maya will perform on Friday, Oct. 13, and Saturday, Oct. 14. Tickets are $25 for general admission and $15 for students.
