"Theatre in High School" – a new educational project initiated by the Regina Maria Theatre
The Iosif Vulcan Troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre launched the pilot educational project "Theatre in High School", which is aimed at high schools in Oradea and aims to establish five theater troupes, which will be coordinated by actors from the Iosif Vulcan Troupe.
The Regina Maria Theater in Oradea launches the START-UP THEATRE DIRECTOR program, intended for young directors in Romania.
Thus, starting this year, we propose to organize a competition for directorial projects, with the aim of supporting young graduated directors under the age of thirty. As a result of this competition, the director declared the winner will stage the proposed show at the Regina Maria Theatre, and the premiere of this show will take place during the Oradea International Theatre Festival (FITO).
The proposals must be based on contemporary texts, and the concept of the show must comply with the festival requirements: a show with a maximum duration of 90 minutes, without an intermission. The jury is made up of members of the Artistic Council of the Regina Maria Theatre.
The Regina Maria Theater launched the THEATRE IN HIGH SCHOOL project in December!
The project is aimed at high schools in Oradea and aims to establish 5 theater groups in 5 high schools, with students in grades 9th, 10th and 11th.
The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theater invites you on Saturday, December 18 to the premiere of a splendid atmospheric show, in which the play of light, shadow and color creates a magical world, in which the spectators will be completely absorbed: "The Snow Queen and the Enchanted Mirror", after Hans Christian Andersen, dramatized and directed by Iulian Bulancea.
"The Snow Queen", as written by Andersen, is a complex, large-scale fairy tale (consisting of seven stories), very rich in meanings and symbolism, which made it the basis for many screen adaptations and performances of all kinds: opera, ballet, theater... many of them not dedicated to children, but to an adult audience. Like any text, which was not designed for the stage, it required a work of selection and rewriting to adapt it to the rules of the stage and the aesthetic language that I proposed. I selected from the multitude of meanings and valences of the fairy tale, the simplest and strongest, which would be easily spotted by our target audience: children. This is how ""The Snow Queen and the Magic Mirror", the text that underlies our show, which is about the power of friendship and love, about the ability to overcome any obstacle, even if our main character, Gerda, is seen by everyone as "just a little girl". (Iulian Bulancea)
