Workshop – "Art of Acting"
Fifteen students, future actors of Moldovan Theatres, will have the opportunity to cross in four days…thousands of years. They will get acquainted with elements of Japanese traditional theatrical arts, with Italian Commedia dell’Arte and with the techniques of modern European theatre, building this way their own bridges between tradition and modernity.
Meeting with the playwright Matei Vişniec
The originality of Visniec consists in the perfect mixture of hilarity and despair, of impossibility to act and the urge to do something, with the abyss of human soul as a general background. He is not promoting a false realism with accents of aberration, he takes a banal story and gives it a sense of profound mystery, and suddenly a flash of deepest truth is burning our eyes.
(Valentin Silvestru)
Art-Show – "Theatre Poster"
Theatrical Poster is one of the most important tools. The painter Sergiu Plamadeala and his colleagues from "Coliseum" Art Centre will demonstrate us once again the truth of this axiom, using music, dance and pantomime.
Conference – „Japanese traditional theatre” – held by Tomita Tetsunosuke (Japan), historian, specialist in Japanese traditional theatre.
