If, in the past years, we invited more shows from Romania, this year we\u2019ve tried to bring more shows from Europe, staged by prominent theatre directors. This year, just like in the past, the shows have been very diverse in terms of genre and the approached themes. We invite theatre performances as well as contemporary dance shows, or shows which can\u2019t be subscribed to a specific genre. \u2018Eurothalia\u2019 is the only festival in Timisoara which focuses exclusively on European theatre. We try to build a sort of platform for the new trends currently followed by the European theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cEurothalia\u201d European Theatre Festival opened with a performance staged at the \u201cElectra\u201d German Theatre, based on texts by Euripides and Aeschylus, and directed by Bocs\u00e1rdi L\u00e1szl\u00f3. The staging preserves the original writing style, but there is a contemporary approach to the text, with a very young and modern Electra concealed under a very delicate appearance. Isa Berger is the actress who gives life to the character of passionate Electra, whose only raison d\u2019etre is revenge.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Isa Berger: \u201cIt is not a light show. We need tranquillity and peace of mind before the show. I need to spend some time alone, to try to identify Electra\u2019s problems and somehow to re-live that inner turmoil. I try to mirror that soul, for the public to see it. Just like Mr. Bocsardi said, human soul has no bounds. This is precisely what we want to do, to unveil our souls in front of the public. If I were to bring Electra to our modern times, I would say I don\u2019t necessarily understand her wish to take revenge, to kill her mother, but I fully understand her love for his father, because I myself am a daughter who loves her father very much and I believe I would do anything for my dad. Somehow, I identify myself with her, from this point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElectra\u201d was followed by two performances of \u201cThe Seagull\u201d by Chekhov, directed by Oskaras Kor\u0161unovas, a production by OKT \/ Vilnius City Theatre, Lithuania. The staging won over the public in the first minutes, due to the incredible natural acting. \u201cActors can\u2019t hide themselves behind the characters. The spectators should see, step by step, how the actor starts living the character\u2019s life,\u201d this is what Kor\u0161unovas teaches his actors.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Belgian director Jan Lauwers and Needcompany came to \u201cEurothalia\u201d, with \u201cThe Blind Poet\u201d, a show on multiculturalism, based on the story of each of the leading actors, who are requested to expose much of their lives to the public at large.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German State Theatre based in the western city of Timisoara organised the 5th edition of the \u201cEurothalia European Theatre Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":160715,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44685],"tags":[44744,44745,44746,33854],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-160714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-of-culture","tag-eurothalia","tag-jan-lauwers","tag-oskaras-korsunovas","tag-silviu-purcarete"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
