Serge Denoncourt is a well-known theatre director in Quebec.
But his most recent project took him far from home... to Belgrade, Serbia.
He worked with Roma (or Gypsy) youth, to create a musical, called GRUBB (Gypsy Roma Urban Balkan Beats).
Find out how the experience has changed his life... and the lives of the Roma.
And hear a review of GRUBB The Musical.
The music from GRUBB is available on CD and through itunes.
