class="">Theatre Books in NTF33

In the three days of the book marathon (October 21st, 28th and 29th, in between 11:00 and 16:00 o’clock, at Cărturești Verona – a NTF33 partner), the audience will be presented around 30 various titles, all joined by a common subject – theatre, signed by significant authors and released by different publishings, Romanian and foreign alike.

The editorial releases include playwriting, novels, essays, chronicles, portraits of famous creators, love stories etc. The first Romanian translation of a book on the famous choreographer Pina Bausch will also be featured.

This fair-marathon, hosted by Cărturești Verona – a pleasant cultural space for get-togethers and heart-felt dialogues – will reveal many surprises for anyone with an interest in theatre books, anyone wishing to discover the fascinating world of performing arts. Free entry.

Aside from this fair-marathon, but also an editorial novelty, there is a tribute event dedicated to the memory of the great actress Clody Bertola, born 110 years ago. This beautiful NTF33 moment – Clody Bertola – 110 – is going to take place on October 27th, starting 11:00 o’clock, hosted by ARCUB, The Big Hall, and it will bring the book “La vie en rose with Clody Bertola” back into public attention. The portrait book was written many years ago by the theatre critic Ludmila Patlanjoglu, but has been edited by Nemira publishing into a luxury edition –with add-ons –, with new texts and photographs.  Images from the artist’s life and from her representative performances will be projected.

The author will be present in a discussion moderated by Călin Ciobotari. Several cultural personalities, many theatre people who loved and admired Clody Bertola, have been invited to this event organized by UNITER, NTF and Nemira Publishing. Free entry, subject to availability.

She has become the Unbeatable, the Unique, the Lady of the Theatre. She has had legendary loves and friendships… Her massive talent, as well as her mysterious beauty have attracted illustrious and inspired men. She has been the muse of the painter Ștefan Constantinescu, of directors Liviu Ciulei and Lucian Pintilie… She has been the heroine of some grand artistic battles. Her biography makes history in the world of Romanian theatre.

Clody Bertola, an actress blessed with enormous talent, written about as unique, unbeatable, a tireless force and mysterious femininity, has turned her theatre characters into eternal pieces, having played in quite a few theatres in Bucharest, mostly at Bulandra, under the direction of multiple creators, such as Liviu Ciulei and Lucian Pintilie, for whom she has been a muse and great inspiration.
