Comedy by Mikhail Bulgakov
\nTranslation: Aneta Dobre and Galina Cernicova<\/p>\n
Artistic direction and stage version: Alexandru Colpacci<\/strong> The starting point of the comedy "Tsar Ivan Changes His Profession" is placed in Moscow in the 1930s, a context in which the engineer Timofeev invents a rudimentary time machine, through which he sends the block administrator Ivan Vasilievich Bunsha four centuries into the past. In his place appears the fierce and legendary Tsar Ivan the Terrible. Thus, the upheaval is total: Bunsha finds himself still in Moscow, but at Ivan's court, while the latter is transported to the future and must understand and behave according to the avatars of the modern world. Bunsha substitutes for the Tsar, an opportunity which reveals his true tyrannical nature; Ivan the Terrible, taken as a talented actor, tries to sort out the sentimental entanglements of the engineer Timofeev. The scenes of the comedy alternate rapidly between eras, the effect being almost cinematic. The confusions and qui-pro-quos are continuous, and the comic is accentuated by the modern elements of contemporary language overlaid with archaisms used four centuries ago.<\/p>\n The interest of the play does not lie, however, in the differences between the two eras, but in their perhaps unexpected convergence. The similarities are found in the qualities of the people, which have remained essentially the same over the centuries, but also in the situations depicted, which have a timeless character. The parodic substratum transforms the entire incident into a parable.<\/p>\n In the end of the play \u2013 dominated by a lyrical note \u2013, order is restored, each character returns to his era, and moreover, it is suggested that everything was only a dream of engineer Timofeev, but a dream with a great load of ideas, associations and meanings.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Timofeev:\u00a0 Liviu Rozorea<\/strong> Technical director: M\u0103rioara Goina ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comedie de Mihail Bulgakov Traducerea: Aneta Dobre \u015fi Galina Cernicova Regia artistic\u0103 \u015fi versiunea scenic\u0103:\u00a0 Alexandru Colpacci Scenografia:\u00a0 arh.Dan Jitianu Ilustra\u0163ia muzical\u0103:\u00a0 Felix \u015eipo\u015f Data premierei:\u00a0 4 iunie 1981 Punctul de \u00eenceput al comediei \u201e\u0162arul Ivan \u00ee\u015fi schimb\u0103 meseria\u201d este plasat \u00een Moscova anilor 1930, context \u00een care inginerul Timofeev inventeaz\u0103 o rudimentar\u0103 ma\u015fin\u0103 a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-arhiva":[494],"class_list":["post-10153","arhiva","type-arhiva","status-publish","hentry","categorie-arhiva-unsorted"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
