Café-theater show

Premiere date: April 12, 1969

Born from the desire to find an alternative method of expression and dialogue with the public, the café-théâtre concept was inaugurated by Oradea artists through the Baudelaire recital given by actress Alla Tăutu. Spectators gathered in the foyer of the Theatre were able to enjoy, in an intimate atmosphere, seventeen poems by the French author (four of which were recited in French), enhanced by musical accompaniment, an inspired play of light and shadow and an ingenious stage movement. Beyond the elective affinities that determined the choice of the poet and the texts, the opening of the café-théâtre project with Baudelaire's poetry also had a programmatic component, his writing being at the foundation of modern lyricism.
