HANSEL AND GRETEL IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST

after the Brothers Grimm, dramatization: Ciprian Huțanu

Two clever and brave children feel that the time has come to help their father, who is exhausted from hard work. They put their minds to it and set off into the dark forest to gather firewood for the winter.

Luckily, a good fairy watches over them, and their courage and cleverness help them face every danger.

THE GIFT FROM THE NEST

Florina Dometi's dramatization

Christmas means something different to everyone: gifts, family, kindness, shared moments. But beyond all of this, lies its true meaning: the birth of the Savior, the one promised since ancient times and announced by the prophets, who came to earth to bring salvation and light to the world. A miracle that, even after thousands of years, still fills our universe with peace, hope and love.

Created with little ones in mind, but also suitable for parents, "The Gift from the Manger" is a puppet show built as an illustrated story full of candor, which follows, preserving the biblical truth, the story of the Nativity, starting from the Annunciation, to the Adoration of the Magi. The show reminds us of the true source of the magic of Christmas and brings the holy story closer to our souls, through the beauty of traditional Romanian carols.

A SUNRAY

by Al.T. Popescu, stage adaptation, lyrics, direction: Toma Hogea

"A ray of sunshine", a text written by Al.T. Popescu, is a story that is mainly addressed to children (preschoolers and young schoolchildren). It is a story full of candor, lyricism, emotion, and sometimes suspense, having as its fundamental theme: FRIENDSHIP!

The theme of FRIENDSHIP is seconded, in our case, by the theme of SACRIFICE (for fellow human beings, even more so for a friend) in a natural way, with sensitivity, candor, playfulness, humor and the joy of the game, everything being well supported by the ACTORS dedicated to the stage, the character, the audience. Any beautiful story transposed on stage with puppets, with sensitive lyrics, with original music, with emotion and color is the "gift" of the beginning of the season, offered by the ARCADIA Troupe to every child who crosses the threshold of the "Regina Maria" Theater. (Toma Hogea, director)

SANTA'S SLEEVE

by Andreea Costea, directed by Igor Lungu

Following requests from parents, an ad hoc meeting is organized at the North Pole to save the stories. This is because without stories, all the magic of Christmas disappears, and Santa Claus is left without the famous sleigh with which he brings gifts every year. To save the situation, Santa Claus and Santa Claus convince the negative characters in children's stories to do good deeds.

The show Santa's Sleigh aims to be a very brief foray into childhood stories, such as The Bear Tricked by the Fox, The Three Little Pigs and The Goat with Three Kids, to see what a good deed means and who should do it, to bring the magic of Christmas back to earth.

Alexander Pop – Santa Claus
Florian Silaghi – Santa Claus
Armanca Serac – The Goblin
Zentania Lupşe – The fox
Igor Lungu – The wolf
Multiple roles – Andrei Fazecaș and Consuela Egyed

Directed by: Igor Lungu

Music: Ovidiu Iloc
