Drama in four acts by Mihail Davidoglu<\/p>\n
Artistic director: Ion Deloreanu<\/strong> A historical play, "Horia" provides an orderly, chronological retrospective of the events during the Peasants' Uprising of 1784 in Transylvania. Through seemingly random details and descriptions that do not lack a pronounced poetic element, the horrific conditions of oppression in which the Romanian serfs lived under the dual rule of the nobles and the Austrian Empire are outlined. Extreme exploitation, cruel and arbitrary punishments, and countless crimes by the nobles make the peasants seek solutions to preserve their dignity and gain their due rights. At first, Horia tries to peacefully obtain these rights, having several private meetings with Emperor Joseph II of Austria, himself a singular figure at the Viennese court, through the sympathy shown to the enlightened movements of the time. Next, with great historical accuracy, the play's action depicts the key moments of the uprising, which Horia prepares with great care and strategic spirit, insisting that the bulk of the villages in all parts of Transylvania be raised. Although Horia predicts that the best time for the uprising to break out would be the spring of 1785, his leaders start the movement earlier, before it is sufficiently prepared, in November 1784. At first, the enthusiasm of the peasants knows no bounds and fate seems to be favorable to them. More and more serfs join the rebel armies and more and more noble courts are attacked and destroyed. Clo\u0219ca, however, is more conciliatory, ready to come to an agreement with the lords who hypocritically promise to convert to the Orthodox religion and to stop oppressing the peasants. At the same time, a pedagogue from the Court of the Intze Spaniard warns the serfs that, although the Emperor has promised them support, the lord is still closer to his heart. A fact that proves to be true, when Transylvania is invaded on all roads by the imperial armies sent to suppress the uprising. And the clergy is mobilized against the rebels, the bishops and priests threatening the peasants with excommunication if they join Horia's army. Finally, without consulting Horia, Clo\u0219ca makes a deal with the chief of the imperial sloops, and this is the beginning of the end: the people leave for their homes, and Horia's camp, the only one trying in vain to resist the assault, is surrounded and defeated.<\/p>\n The last scene of the play, depicting Horia in prison, before his execution, sheds an optimistic light on the future of the Transylvanian peasants: the leader of the uprising knows that his truth does not die with him, because whoever has felt the taste of freedom never forgets it. He is convinced that before long, justice will descend on earth, which places the peasants' revolt for social rights among the national-revolutionary movements in the spirit of the great currents of the time.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Horia:\u00a0 Vasile Constantinescu<\/strong> Technical director: Dalma Simionescu \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dram\u0103 \u00een patru acte de Mihail Davidoglu Regia artistic\u0103:\u00a0 Ion Deloreanu Decor:\u00a0 Nagy Alexandru Costume:\u00a0 Eliza Popescu Data premierei:\u00a0 14 noiembrie 1964 Pies\u0103 de factur\u0103 istoric\u0103, \u201eHoria\u201d realizeaz\u0103 o retrospectiv\u0103 ordonat\u0103, cronologic\u0103, a evenimentelor din timpul R\u0103scoalei \u021b\u0103r\u0103ne\u0219ti din 1784, din Transilvania.
