The idea for this show came as a continuation of an older idea by actor Şerban Borda, which the Children's Theatre Cultural Association put into practice last summer, "Turn the Page".
The idea materialized this year, in a project conceived by Andreea Costea, submitted to the Administration of the National Cultural Fund, for which co-financing was received within the I/2020 funding session for cultural projects, in the Education through Culture area.
The "School Readings Integrated in Animation Theater" project aims to support culturally, socially and ethnically disadvantaged adolescents who are preparing for the Baccalaureate exams, by creating a performative reading based on the novel "Moromeții" by Marin Preda, using innovative artistic means: the language of animation theater, multimedia, live music, dedicated workshops and Q&A sessions.
The project is aimed at adolescents from rural areas in Bihor, Satu Mare and Sălaj counties, institutionalized minors from placement centers in Bihor and Romanian students from Gyula, Hungary.
The partners of the Children's Theater Cultural Association are: Regina Maria Theater, the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection of Bihor, the University of Oradea, the Marghita Culture House, the Aleșd City Hall, the Tinca Commune Hall, the Zalău County Museum of History and Art, the Carei Cultural Center and the Nicolae Bălcescu High School in Gyula.
