PREMIERES OF DECEMBER 2016
The Regina Maria Theatre announces the premiere of the shows "The Little Prince", adapted from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, directed by Marius Costache, and "Confused Holidays", directed by Florian Silaghi. Two shows that are especially aimed at children, but also at those who let their imagination take them and keep fantasy in their souls.
"The Little Prince" is one of the most famous and beloved literary works, having been translated into more than 250 languages and dialects and adapted to numerous other art forms, including theater. However, the charm that Saint-Exupéry's story exerts on readers does not only transcend linguistic and artistic boundaries, but also a much more significant one on a human level: age. Thus, the adventures of the little boy who wanders the galaxy to discover what love, friendship, loneliness and death mean can be enjoyed equally by both innocent children and adults, even if they always need clarification.
Director Marius Costache managed to recreate the enchanting universe of the story on the stage of the Regina Maria Theater, preserving the specific candor, but also the deeply philosophical side of the opera. The show, therefore, is addressed not only to middle school children, but also to teenagers who are just stepping into another dimension, that of mature people and even adults, who live alone on their own planets and are always absorbed by such trivial things.
The premiere took place today, December 15, at 12:00 PM, at the Arcadia Hall, and will take place at the Great Hall tomorrow, December 16, at 11:00 AM. The general public is invited to enjoy the enchanting story on Saturday, January 14, at 11:00 AM, at the Arcadia Hall.
Until the next interplanetary journey, the little pilots are invited to a show that will fill their souls with the magic of the winter holidays. Like every year, the Regina Maria Theater has prepared a special Christmas show, this time given with all the love by the Arcadia Troupe to all the children in the world, whether they are good or naughty: "(Happy) Confused Holidays", directed by Florian Silaghi.
The children will meet the disgruntled, mischievous elf, who instead of being obedient and completing his work, is a troublemaker. But, like disobedient children, the "gift" he will receive will be proportionate to his deeds. However, not all elves are naughty, and those who are good may even have magical powers. If you don't believe me, we invite you on Sunday, December 18, from 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, to the Arcadia Hall to convince yourself. Especially since our magical elves will need a little help from you to wrap the gifts for the good children.
"(Happy) Confused Holidays", a magical show, recommended for children aged 3 and up, with Eduard Malița, Bianca Onița, Andrei Fazecaș and Egyed Consuela, directed by Florian Silaghi.
