"The text seems necessary to me precisely because we live in a society in which individualism is the main ethical imperative, in which the Other has no value except to the extent that it can represent a means to achieve profit. I chose this text because it presents the immigrant's condition from two perspectives. The personal, human one, of the fears, of the torture given by this situation in which it is < > to exist in a place, of love, of searching for a < >, of the ways in which Elif colors this alienating existence. And the other, which is the political perspective, of man who is only worth as much as he can produce. Of man as a tool of work and nothing more. And especially, of a bureaucratic system built to ensure that someone like Elif will never be able to obtain the rights necessary to overcome the condition of a simple tool of work, will never be able to live as a human being.” (Alex Ianăși)

Dr. Stockmann, the idealistic doctor of a spa resort in a generic town, makes a shocking discovery: the springs that attract thousands of tourists to his town are not curative, but dangerous to health. It's just that the "heart that pumps life itself" in this town brings both income and advantages for all members of the social pyramid. Stockmann thus embarks on a solitary fight to expose the truth in a world where economic interests prevail and the community often remains indifferent.

We are in a place that does not exist on the map. A small town, with people like everywhere else. Here we find a group of inhabitants who almost form a community, but not quite. Like everywhere else, some know each other, others not so much. In such an isolated, remote place, as if somewhere at the end of the world, the ordinary is shaken by people's feelings that are unleashed and come to the surface, manifesting themselves in the form of a ceaseless search for the acute need for closeness, for belonging. A longing that springs from and is fueled by their love, melancholy, loneliness or hope. A set of stories about the attachment, suffering and disappointment that we feel in interactions with others, in our attempts to be together.

"B-category goddesses" by Alexandra Felseghi, based on an idea by and directed by Andrei Măjeri, is a show-event that aims to bring on the same stage actresses from three cities and three different theaters, applauded in the geographical spaces in which they play, but less known outside of them: Elena Ivanca (actress of the "Lucian Blaga" National Theater in Cluj-Napoca), Ioana Dragoș Gajdó (actress of the "Regina Maria" Theater in Oradea), Silvia Luca (actress of the "Mihai Eminescu" Theater in Botoșani).

The premiere took place on September 22, 23 and 24, in Bucharest, at creart/TEATRELLI – the initiator of the project and the main producer, the show then being played, in turn, in all the co-producing theaters, respectively at the National Theater Cluj-Napoca, the "Regina Maria" Theater Oradea and the "Mihai Eminescu" Theater Botoșani.

The play “Cruelty and Tenderness” is a contemporary reinterpretation of Sophocles’ “The Trachineans,” by Martin Crimp, which updates the ancient Greek tragedy and puts it in relation to the political climate of today’s world. Sophocles’ character, Deianeira, thus becomes, in Crimp’s reinterpretation, Amelia, the wife of a general. Housed in a temporary house near an international airport, as she receives more information about the general’s war activities, she devises a plan to bring him home. Her love for him becomes clouded by doubt and hatred when she learns that her high-ranking husband has initiated a military attack on a strategic city not only for political but also sentimental reasons.

"98% (the right decision)" tells the story of Iza, a seventeen-year-old girl who accidentally becomes pregnant. It is a journey of forced and unexpected maturation that exposes one of the most difficult and important decisions in a woman's life. Thematically, it explores topics that are close to teenagers, such as the phenomenon of bullying, friendship, love, sex life and femininity. (Andreea Tănase)

Following this trigger, both he and the others involved enter a vicious cycle of revenge that transforms small, otherwise undramatic events into an absurd movement of extreme vigilantism.

Georges (Răzvan Vicoveanu) and Jeannot (Richard Balint) are a charming middle-aged gay couple. The former is the manager and the latter the star performer of a flamboyant drag club in Saint-Tropez. After twenty years of blissful extramarital bliss, the two face the toughest challenge of their relationship yet: meeting the parents of their son's fiancée.

They both decide the best approach is to hide their sexual identities, along with their flamboyant personalities, when their ultra-conservative, anti-gay future in-laws come to visit. This comical scenario sets off a stunning French farce.

Musical, moving, captivating and astonishing, the show "Colivia Nebunelor" is a comic masterpiece about love and preconceptions.
