The Regina Maria Theater invites you this week to two related events, which complement the theater's cultural program and invite the audience to intercultural dialogue.
On Wednesday, February 19, from 5:00 PM, in the Loji Foyer (1st floor), the Regina Maria Theater hosts the second edition of the Oradea Culture Salon, founded by university professor and literary critic Ion Simuț. The special guest of this edition is Ms. Simona Mihuțiu, "an Oradea writer in full affirmation" (Ion Simuț), with a prolific literary activity, who has written four novels, three volumes of short prose, three volumes of poetry, a volume of essays and two plays since 2019.
"Cactus Flower" is one of those comedies that never goes out of style. Romantic, humorous and spicy, the comedy has been successfully played both on stage and in cinema, the first screen version being rewarded with an Oscar, a nomination at the Bafta Awards and an award and four nominations at the Golden Globes..
The story imagined by Giuseppe Berto is inspired by Concerto for oboe and string orchestra in D minor by the Venetian composer Alessandro Marcello, long erroneously attributed to Antonio Vivaldi and then to Benedetto Marcello, and is a romantic drama, which is consumed under the mysterious and thanatic patronage of Venice. The plot is focused on the confrontation of emotions, memories, reproaches and desires of two characters, a He and a She, who meet again after a long time on the platform of a train station in Venice and gradually discover, that despite the suffering they have caused each other, love has not died. But time is against them.
In the cast, you will be able to see again the actors Sebastian Lupu and Mirela Niță Lupu playing together, who give even greater depth to the characters, bringing in addition to their acting contribution, which for building such penetrating roles require stage maturity and depth, also that of life, as they are in turn a couple in everyday life. At the same time, the choice of this text was not at all accidental and marks, somewhat in a mirror, the celebration of 25 years of career on the Oradea theater stage.

"Monsters don't exist unless we create them! We need people to believe in them."
The show is an adaptation, the text being brought up to the speed of information transfer we use now. Only one character has retained his pedantry, only he is aware of this and refuses to simplify, because he believes that the power of the word has beauty.
One of the most famous and beloved children's stories, "The Wizard of Oz" has managed to seduce entire generations of children over time. Written at the beginning of the century, more precisely in 1900, "The Wizard of Oz" has become an immortal story over time, being considered, in fact, the first modern American fairy tale. The adventures of Dorothy - a little girl from Kansas, thrown by a tornado to unknown lands - are famous throughout the world, having known numerous dramatizations and screen adaptations. Although more than 100 years have passed since the launch of this book, children around the world are still fascinated by the wonderful world of Oz.
