Today is the World Theatre Day, a day of celebrating not only the birth of theatre, which is in fact lost in immemorial times, but rather the perpetual rebirth of this art that, through its own existence, is meant to celebrate the human being: the eternal Man, always identical to himself, but also the Man in his permanent historical mobility; man as an indivisible whole, but also the halved, multiple, multiform man; the singular man, whose complex identity takes an unrepeatable shape, but also the histrionic man, who plays with identities, in order to know them and himself better. The theatre art celebrates the man who reflects upon the world and reflects upon himself through the world.
Like every year, the National Theatre of Cluj-Napoca invites you to spend the World Theatre Day at the Gates Open Day, which reached its ninth edition. The event will take place Tuesday, 27 March 2018, between 11.00 a.m. - 7.00 p.m., in the halls and foyers of the theatre, and includes events destined to children, as well as to adolescents and adults. The entrance is free, within available seats.
Our artistic director, Ştefana Pop-Curşeu, is one of the 50 faces of the exhibition FRANCOPHONIE IN FEMININE!
The exhibition is an initiative of the French Institute, realized within the European Year of Patrimony and on the occasion of the Francophonie Month, and brings an homage to 50 contemporary women, who bring to life the bilateral relation between Cluj-Napoca and the francophone space. Even if they are artists, conductors, teachers, writers, entrepreneurs, future doctors, project managers, association executives, translators, university professors or resident students at the French Institute, they all share the French language and its values.
The exhibition opens tomorrow, 20 March 2018, at 6.30 p.m.. Hosted by the <La Cave> space of the French Institute of Cluj, from 22 I.C Brătianu street, the exhibition can be visited until 4 April. The photos are signed by the French artist Nicolas Friess.
