After a strong start with the new UNITER 2024 laureate Who killed my father? of the Metropolis Theatre (the award for best direction went to Andrei Măjeri), the 9th edition of the Oradea International Theatre Festival (FITO) scheduled, on the second day (June 2, 2024), a premiere of the hosts. The Iosif Vulcan troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre presented, on the stage of the magnificent Great Hall of the State Theatre, the country premiere of the musical Kid.
One of the masterpieces of silent cinema made by Charlie Chaplin is transformed into a lively and moving musical on the stage of the Regina Maria Theater.
The story is a simple one: Charlie Chaplin, a film director, while on the set giving a speech to his employees, learns some sad news. But this whole moment is interrupted by a kid, who is running from the police and asks the director to pretend to be his father. This is where the idea of a touching but humorous film starts, in which the protagonists are a poor glazier and an orphaned child, who go through all sorts of adventures together.
The Regina Maria Theater is pleased to announce the 9th edition of the Oradea International Theater Festival, which will take place between June 1-9, 2024. The event is organized in partnership with the Bihor County Council, the FITO Cultural Foundation and the Oradea City Hall.

Theater Queen Mary from Oradea has recently enriched its repertoire with a new, good and exciting show called Rabbit Hole. It is based on a skillfully written play by the American David-Lindsay Abaire. Who, after being rewarded for it in 2007 with the prestigious Pulitzer (Abaire also received other awards), he turned it into a film script. A 2011 film that was released in our country under the rather uninspired title Awakening to reality. Film directed by John Cameron Mitchell and which brought Nicole Kidman, who was a perfect fit for the female lead role, a nomination for Oscar.
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.
At a time when elephants were incomplete and did not yet have trunks, a curious baby elephant wants to slowly discover the world. Since he cannot do many things on his own and does not know everything, he asks questions left and right. But the other animals, busy with their own affairs, are a bit annoyed by his insistence. And since he is curious to find out what the crocodile eats for dinner, he sets off on a real adventure to find the answer. Nothing more dangerous, but if he doesn't try, he wouldn't discover, right?
The Arcadia Troupe team of the Regina Maria Theater is preparing for a new premiere: "The Curious Elephant" by Nina Cassian, adapted and directed by Iulian Bulancea, which will take place Sunday, April 14, from 11:00 a.m., at the Arcadia Hall.
"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.
by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Vlad Cristache
In a parallel universe, everything is wonderful and things happen as they should. In this universe, a child runs after a dog, then returns to play in the living room.
In another universe, a collective butterfly effect is created where someone forgets an open door, someone answers the phone, someone is in a hurry and everyone, for a split second, does not anticipate what is about to happen… and the dog returns on its own. An accident occurs, an absurd accident, for which everyone and no one is to blame at the same time. And the healing process is a difficult one, which takes place on a personal and interpersonal level as well.
Rabbit Hole is a moving psychological drama, cleverly constructed around the idea of loss and the survival mechanisms people adopt in the slow process of healing. It is a warm story of acceptance, strength and transformation.

Under the title of a famous American film starring Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer and Christopher Reeve, a film that miraculously arrived on Romanian screens in the suffocating, practically hopeless 1980s, the Theatre Queen Mary from Oradea offered its spectators the opportunity to see a performance of the play Almost, Maine of John Cariani.
I will not attempt to explain the reason for the change of title in the following. I will only note that the stories in the 8 modules of the show take place in an indefinite time, but the place where they are consumed is specified as clearly as possible. That is, Maine, a rather bizarre locality, with a society and social life that are not exactly organized, located where the map is pinned.
The Regina Maria Theatre is pleased to announce the premiere of the show "Somewhere, Sometime" by John Cariani, translated and adapted by Ándi Gherghe and Adi Iclenzan, under his direction Ándi Gherghe, which will take place Saturday, March 23, from 7:00 p.m., at the Transylvania Hall, playing with the house closed.
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.

After my move from Brașov to Oradea, I didn't regret anything, but I often said that I missed theater, so I started the project of familiarizing myself with this world in the city where my new home is. As you know if you've read me before and as you're finding out now if you haven't, I share what I like and I think others might like it or, on the contrary, cause change in those whom it can put, from the comfortable seat in the hall, in not-so-comfortable positions, with the potential to generate some reflections as a glimmer of hope for self-education and tolerance.
Because it seems vital to me that we draw some conclusions that will make us at least a little more decent people, not just remain passive and giddy consumers of any cultural, artistic or entertainment product. If you want and can, or at least want to be able to, you have something useful to learn from Las Fierbinți (which Diana, my colleague from GOLAN Magazine, wrote about, here) and from some show with love islands or parent swaps. Okay, for this you need some skills that we don't really learn in the traditional educational environment, because God forbid the child interprets something according to his own mind and doesn't babble the eternal comments learned by heart from grandma's collection of comments.
The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre performed, at the end of February, the show "Hansel and Gretel", directed by András Szőke Kavinszki, in Beiuș and Budureasa.
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 Jungle Book" is part of the category of immortal stories. The adventures of Mowgli, the cub raised in the jungle by a pack of wolves, educated by the bear Baloo and protected by the skilled panther Bagheera, are ageless: the noble values he develops, such as loyalty, honor, courage, tradition, have the same meaning today, and the stories are addressed to both children and adults, with the depth and meaning that each age offers them.
