The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theater is preparing for the 3rd edition of the "Tales from Arcadia" Week, which will take place from April 20-27, 2024. The program, as every year, proposes an entertaining marathon of theater performances from the troupe's repertoire, the famous pajama story nights, a painting exhibition, which has nature as its theme, and art therapy workshops.

"The Curious Elephant" is a funny text, inspired by the story "The Elephant's Baby" by Rudyard Kipling. The main character of the story is a baby elephant, from the time when elephants did not yet have trunks, who wants to discover the world. So he asks a lot of questions to the animals around him, but they become annoyed by his insistence and end up avoiding him. But the baby elephant does not give up and when the curiosity arises in his mind to find out what the crocodile eats for dinner, he sets off on a real adventure to find the answer.

The cast consists of the following actors: Alina Leonte (Becca), Răzvan Vicoveanu (Howie), Giorgiana Coman (Izzy), Gabriela Codrea (Nat) and Tudor Manea (Jason).

 Arcadia Crew has the honor to invite you Saturday, March 9, from the time 11:30, at the Arcadia Hall, at the book launch "I was the puppet" - Theater Man Maria Mierluț", signed by Toma Hogea.

At the beginning of March, for three days, the actors of the Arcadia Troupe participated in a large and applied workshop on the Bunraku-type articulated puppet, held by Prof. Univ. Dr. Ciprian Huțanu, one of the most appreciated contemporary Romanian puppet artists.

Between February 29 and March 2, the Arcadia Theater became a space for innovation, creativity and development. During the workshop "Decomposition of stage movement through animated objects", puppeteers perfected their known techniques, but also acquired new handling skills, under the careful coordination of Ciprian Huțanu, who returns to Oradea after creating a successful project on the Arcadia Hall stage, the show "The Bremen Town Musicians".

The Regina Maria Theater managed to bring joy and hope to the souls of children in Bihor County during the 2nd edition of the event "Christmas in the Land of Puppets", which took place from December 2 to 18. This year's edition included 14 shows performed at the Arcadia Hall and the Great Hall and brought a distinctive touch by integrating two awareness campaigns, carried out in collaboration with the Bihor DGASPC.
