During seven days, director, actor and teacher Yuri Kordonsky and the 27 actors made up an intimate creative universe that nobody could break into. For a whole week, they did “filigree work”, says Rares Forin Stoica, one of the participants. Behind the closed doors, Yuri Kordonsky opened “a door to life” to the actors, as Andrei Radu described his experience of working on the plays of Anton Chekhov. Following the event, you can admire an exhibition on the themes of the creative laboratory, signed by photographer Adi Bulboacă, set up during the National Theatre Festival, from 20 to 30 October.

“Marina Constantinescu convinced me to come here, through a skillful approach and understanding, love, tenderness and spirit of sacrifice. One of the demands that I made was keeping an intimate work atmosphere, in a closed environment”. (Yuri Kordonsky)

“I truly believe in the theatre of Yuri Kordonsky. I am grateful to him for having accepted to suspend time and all things urgent for us all, and come deliver this prologue right before the start of the festival. I am convinced that the 27 actors who took part in the creative laboratory will have a strong word to say in the Romanian theatre. Because up to the very end theatre is the joy of being together.” (Marina Constantinescu)

“I did not have the chance of witnessing the meeting of Yuri Kordonsky, the 27 young actors and Chekhov, but I enjoyed imagining what could grow out of that meeting. Few days after the lab, I had the opportunity to welcome the actors in my photo studio. I proposed them a game: to play Chekhov, I challenged them to invent meetings of characters from various plays, to imagine the relationships, the explosions or the silence that could arise.” (Adi Bulboacă)
