The last weekend of the Arcadia Children's Theater Festival
The 5th edition of the Arcadia Children's Theater Festival is coming to an end. A month of stories will end this weekend with four extraordinary performances and a unique concert, performed by actor Alex Ștefănescu.
Friday, June 8, the festival day begins at 5:00 PM with the show "A Meter Away from You", presented with great delicacy at the Arcadia Hall by the "Ion Creangă" Theater in Bucharest. A wordless show, in which the poetry of movement predominates, and the versatile space that transforms in front of the audience will charm everyone, from the smallest to the giants. From 8:00 PM, in the Oradea Citadel we relax to guitar chords, spread with talent in the souls of the listeners by actor Alex Ștefănescu, finalist at Romanians Have Talent, who will retell, sing and parody 9 famous plays.
On Saturday, June 9, Pantalone the Stingy is sent by the "Ion Creangă" Theater in Bucharest to the moon, where old people rejuvenate, children command their parents, and monkeys become emperors. It seems like an ideal world, where rivers of gold and diamonds flow, but nothing is ever perfect – "Pantalone on the Moon", from 11:00, at the Great Hall. From 19:00, at the Arcadia Hall, Reactor de creație și experiment invites teenagers to a show that deals with a pressing contemporary problem: manipulation. Portraying simple situations, as a sequence of episodes taken from everyday life (a meeting, a dialogue with the mother, a discussion held online), it demonstrates how the boundary between the manipulator and the manipulated sometimes becomes increasingly blurred.
On Sunday, June 10, at 11:00 AM, we conclude the Arcadia Children's Theater Festival with one of the most beautiful stories in world literature: "The Snow Queen", presented by the "Țăndărică" Animation Theater in Bucharest. The Great Hall of the Theater will transform for a moment into a magical universe, where children are invited to embark on a journey full of adventures and misadventures in the vast white expanse of the land enchanted by the Snow Queen.
Tickets are on sale at the Theatre Ticket Agency from Tuesday to Friday between 12:00 and 18:00, and on weekends between 10:00 and 13:00. You can also purchase tickets one hour before the show or online at www.biletmaster.ro. For additional information and ticket reservations, please call: 0372/368.475.

We look forward to seeing you at the festival!

OUR SHARED STAGE
EN.
Every theater is part of a community. Every community has a story.
Every year, on 25 October, historic buildings across Europe, along with other institutions dedicated to heritage, celebrate the European Historic Theaters Day.
Our Shared Stage celebrates historic buildings as spaces that belong to multiple generations, communities and cultures. A theater is more than a stage or an auditorium: it is a place of encounter, shaped by all those who have worked, learned and performed within its walls.
On the occasion of the European Historic Theaters Day, PERSPECTIV – Association of Historic Theaters in Europe invites you to discover its new website!

A space dedicated to the beauty, history and heritage of European theatre.
