WORLD THEATRE DAY – ARTISTS FOR ARTISTS
As every year, the Regina Maria Theatre responds to the National Campaign launched by UNITER – "Artists for Artists", so this year, on the occasion of World Theatre Day, celebrated on March 27, the show chosen for this special day is EQUUS* (by Peter Shaffer, under the artistic direction of Szabó K. István) – which will be performed on March 28, from 6 pm, at the Great Hall.
On World Theatre Day, the international message was formulated by playwright Dario Fo, and the national one by Ion Caramitru. These messages will be read to the audience before the performances that are part of the Campaign launched by UNITER.
The National Campaign "Artists for Artists" is organized by UNITER, together with theaters in Bucharest and across the country, with the aim of raising funds for elderly artists with health problems.
Initiated and organized since 2002, the National Campaign "Artists for Artists" is a stimulator of guild solidarity, a financial resource for elderly artists with health problems, and a signal to the public and authorities regarding their situation and their dignity.
În fiecare an, UNITER împreună cu artişti importanţi şi cu instituţiile teatrale, cu parteneri care s-au asociat acestui program a reuşit să facă posibilă realizarea Campaniei Naţionale „Artiştii pentru artişti” prin intermediul căreia se strâng sumele necesare sprijinirii artiştilor vârstnici din toată ţara. Sumele strânse de către teatre din vânzarea de bilete se direcţionează către un fond special constituit – Fondul de Solidaritate Teatrală.
*EQUUS (1973) e piesa scrisă de dramaturgul englez Peter Shaffer, și e povestea unui psihiatru care încearcă să trateze un tânăr care are o fascinaţie patologică religioasă faţă de cai. Shaffer a fost inspirat să scrie Equus după ce a auzit despre o întâmplare cutremurătoare: un tânăr de 17 ani a orbit şase cai, într-un orăşel de lângă Suffolk. Dramaturgul a construit o istorie fictivă asupra cauzelor care ar fi putut provoca incidentul, fără să cunoască alte detalii despre acesta. Acţiunea piesei e similară unei poveşti cu detectivi, în care psihiatrul Martin Dysart încearcă să înţeleagă cauzele acţiunilor băiatului, luptând în acelaşi timp cu sentimentele contradictorii cu privire la viaţa sa personală.
