The fourth day of the National Theatre Festival has no less than 13 events scheduled: conferences, workshops, exhibitions, book launches and, of course, theatre shows, invited over from Cluj, Târgu Mureş, Sibiu and Bucharest, as well as TV theatre.
On Monday, the “Theatre journalism- anatomy of a theatrical performance” workshop will make its debut, under professor and theatre critic Marian Popescu. 32 young artists enrolled in this workshop which will span 6 days and be held in one of the alternative spaces of the Capital- Club Control.
The NTF Conference, “Polyphonies: Theatre and the other Arts” shall also be inaugurated on Monday, at 11:00 AM, at the National Theatre of Bucharest’s Small Hall, by miss Monique Borie, academic and prestigious theoretician from France. The festival’s guest shall give a lecture titled “Theatre and Sculpture- horizon of the actor”. The conference shall enjoy Romanian subtitles.
At the Humanitas bookstore in Cismigiu, Vlad Zografi will launch two of his most recent books within the NTF: “Infinity within” (Humanitas Publishing House, Bucharest, 2012) and “All your minds” (Humanitas Publishing House, Bucharest, 2011).
“Infinity within” is a bet by the author, “that from the matter of theatre and literature one can obtain a construct, if not impeccably articulated, at least open to coherent speculation”, while “All your minds” is built as a collection of short plays on the troubles of the world today.
In another space which the National Theatre Festival intends to bring to the public’s view- the “Ion Manu” Cultural Centre in Otopeni- there shall be held, on Monday evening, at 9:45 PM, the grand opening of a refined exhibition, dedicated to a complex man of theatre, radio, as well as a great publisher- “Actor Ion Manu- Bonhomme humour and the subtle irony”. Visitors may witness a successful remembrance of the age and the work of Ion Manu (1881-1968) in which photos, boxes of manuscripts and books, objects which belonged to the artist, as well as a musical background from “Happy Hour” will bring back to the present day a personality which spanned the length of Romanian theatre.
The National Television Theatre joins the NTF by airing, on TVR 2 on Monday evening, one of Chekhov’s masterpieces, “Uncle Vanya”, directed by Yuri Kordonsky, a recording from 2013. A coproduction of TVR and the “L.S. Bulandra Theatre”.
