The Regina Maria Theater continues, this season as well, its mission to be present not only in the heart of Oradea, but also in the midst of the communities in Bihor county and the country. Through both troupes – Iosif Vulcan and Arcadia – TRM manages to promote the love of theater among both children and adults in the Bihor localities, reaffirming its role as an open and involved public institution.

Roman Doljanski is a theater critic, curator, and playwright of Russian origin. Since 2022, he has been working exclusively outside his homeland, becoming one of the best experts on international theater in Europe.

In 1993, he completed his studies at the Russian Institute of Theatrical Arts (GITIS) in Moscow, and five years later he became co-founder and artistic director of the NET (New European Theatre) Festival, an event that introduced a significant number of European directors and theatre companies to the Russian public. In parallel, from 2006 to 2022, he coordinated "Territoria" - the International Festival-School of Contemporary Art, the first multidisciplinary project of such scope in Russia, bringing together theatre, dance, film, visual arts and music in an educational framework dedicated to young creators. During the same period, he was director and chief playwright of the Theatre of Nations, one of the most innovative theatre institutions in the country.

Wednesday, October 29, 2025, starting at 1:00 PM, the Regina Maria Theater in Oradea joins the official events organized in King Ferdinand Square to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Queen Maria of Romania — the sovereign who contributed decisively to the creation of Greater Romania and to the consolidation of the country's prestige in the world.

The Regina Maria Theatre has the honor of collaborating, for the first time, with one of the most important theater and opera directors of his generation, Timofei Kuliabin, who is staging the show „"The Broken Mirror"” a screenplay by Roman Doljanski after Arthur Miller.

Born in 1984 in Russia, Kuliabin trained at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow, and after graduation joined the Novosibirsk Academic Red Torch Theatre. In 2015, at the age of 31, he became the artistic director of the institution, making him the youngest artistic director of a Russian theatre at the time.

On October 25th, we celebrate the European Day of Historic Theatres and, on this occasion, we open the doors of the Regina Maria Theatre wide to invite you to discover and enjoy its beauty!

The cast consists of actors from the Iosif Vulcan troupe Richard Balint, Corina Cernea, Denisa Irina Vlad, Eugene Neag, Cosmin Petrut and Giorgiana Coman.

We all need a safe space, where we know we can return when life doesn't go the way we wanted it to. A place of our own, where we can protect ourselves and where things remain intact, as we've always known them. But what happens when we find that personal shelter crumbling due to a weakness we didn't know about or chose to ignore?

Rosie, the youngest of the Price family, is on a trip through Europe on her gap year and is forced to return home to find her balance. Here, she is welcomed by the whole family and, for a moment, everything seems unchanged: the father, who takes care of the rose garden, the mother, who has a solution for everything, Ben, who can't seem to maintain a relationship, Mark, who has always been the more withdrawn brother and Pip, who seems to live a happy life with her husband and two children. However, this image is just an illusion that is about to disappear when the unspoken things between them come to the surface, and the relational balance that proves fragile is put to the test.

Things I Know to Be True explores the complicated family dynamics that hide behind them the sacrifices made by parents on behalf of their children, the pressure of expectations imposed on children, but also the urgent need for each one to express and defend their own truth. Beyond the intimate struggles between their own aspirations and disappointments, each family member is forced to manage the sudden and unexpected changes in the lives of others, the consequences of which cannot be healed by love alone.
