The show AVALANȘA, staged at the Regina Maria Theatre by director Petru Vutcărău after the text by the late Turkish playwright Tuncer Cücenoğlu, is appreciated in every festival in which it is part of the program. The most recent award, the Best Show Award, was awarded to the team just yesterday, at the end of the Maltepe International Theatre Festival in Istanbul and was handed over, at the closing ceremony of the event, to Mrs. Elvira Rîmbu, Acting Manager of the Regina Maria Theatre and Mr. Andrian Locovei, Artistic Director of the Iosif Vulcan Troupe.

The show AVALANCHE premiered in November of last year and tells the harrowing story of a small community in the mountains of Anatolia, which is guided by outdated rules fueled by ancestral fears. Because of the belief that noise can cause an avalanche that covers the entire settlement, those who live in these already harsh conditions submit to seemingly absurd rules, but which are intended to ensure their continuity. Thus, for nine months of each year, the community members must live in deathly silence, and their activities are limited. But what will happen if, before the danger of the avalanche passes, a child is about to be born?

The unusual subject, as well as the ethical issues it raises, transforms the show into a novelty that attracts the audience and theater people alike.

Since its premiere, the show has been part of the program of three festivals, in addition to the one in Istanbul, being appreciated each time, both by the audience, through the incessant applause, and by the jury members, who rewarded the acting efforts of the artistic team with awards: nomination for Best Show at the "Elvira Godeanu" Târgu Jiu Theater Festival - 1st edition, nomination for actress Georgia Căprărin for the Audience Award for the role of Ghost of a Girl, within the same festival and the Special Jury Award at the 7th edition of the Oradea International Theater Festival. 

The adventure doesn't end here. The next stop will be in the capital, where AVALANȘA will be performed at the prestigious FNT (National Theatre Festival), on October 23, at the Odeon Theatre. Until then, we invite Oradea residents to see the show at home, on October 20, from 8:00 PM, at the Florica Ungur Hall.

Tickets can be purchased from the Theatre Agency, Tuesday to Friday between 12-18 and Saturday between 10-13 and online at www.biletmaster.ro.

The Oradea City Museum-Cultural Complex in collaboration with the Brukenthal National Museum, the "Radu Stanca" Theater in Sibiu, the Regina Maria Theater in Oradea, the Romanian Diocese United with the Greek-Catholic Roman Catholic Diocese of Oradea, invites you to the opening of the painting exhibition Faust: Vanity and Despair.

Exhibits by artist Alexandru Cînean.
Curators: Prof. Dr. Jan de Maere, Dr. Diana Iancu, Dr. Alexandru Chituță. 

The event will take place on September 6, 4:00 PM at the Oradea City Museum-Cultural Complex, in the Princely Palace, building B, 1st floor, room 13.

Visual artist Alexandru Cînean was drawn to the challenge of an exhibition project on the dangers of human intelligence. The motif is inspired by a masterpiece of universal dramaturgy: the tragedy faustian by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The occasion was the performances of this play directed by Silviu Purcărete, at the “Radu Stanca” Theatre in Sibiu. The extremely laborious project first involved the execution of a series of 20 preparatory studies, then transposed onto a double format, 120 x 120 cm. The compositions are conceived as a series of interrogations about the human soul and the condition of the actor, which focus on human emotions caused by desire and pleasure, by the pursuit of fame and greatness, captured in an ambivalent manner, as a result of the actors’ confrontation with their roles and their own image, but also about death and salvation. But not only the actors, but also the director, the painter, the viewer, whoever he may be, can recognize themselves in this endeavor.

 The Regia Maria Theater team begins the 2019-2020 season with fresh forces, lots of positive energy and artistic projects that will take place in several spaces in the city. 

The program of performances begins in September and resumes some of the most recent productions from the previous season, as well as theatrical performances beloved by the audience, exponents of all types of dramatic genre. Until the completion of the modernization works of the stage at the Great Hall, carried out through the project "Romanian-Hungarian cross-border incubator for performing arts", financed under the Interreg VA Romania-Hungary program, the performances of the Regina Maria Theater will take place at the Arcadia Hall, the Trade Unions' Culture House, the Oradea State Philharmonic, the "Florica Ungur" Hall and on the Mobile Stage located in the Oradea Citadel.

The performances of the Iosif Vulcan Troupe will generally start at 7:00 PM, except for those that will take place on the Mobile Stage located in the Oradea Citadel, which will start at 9:00 PM, and the show "Avalanșa", which will take place on October 20, at the "Florica Ungur" Hall, at 8:00 PM. After this performance, the show "Avalanșa" will be performed on October 23 at the Odeon Theater in Bucharest, as part of this year's edition of the National Theater Festival.

The Arcadia Band's performances will be played exclusively at the Arcadia Hall and will start at 11:00 AM.

Come laugh, rebel and get excited at shows you already love or have been eagerly awaiting! The first weekend of September is marked by the most recent show staged at the Regina Maria Theater: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, a charming musical that paves the way for a magical journey into the realm of childhood. The children who play in the show form two casts, so we invite you on both September 6 and 7, from 7:00 PM, at the Trade Unions' House of Culture.

Another recent show that has sparked positive reactions since its premiere is the political comedy "...ESCU", a timeless picture of political life in Romania, with funny and at the same time meaningful moments, which will take place on Tuesday, September 24, also at the Trade Unions' Culture House, at 7:00 PM.
