Conferences
Alexandru Tocilescu: About Theatre and its Matters
On Sunday, March 27th, 2011, at 11.00 at the Black Box Hall, director Alexander Tocilescu presented the conference About Theatre and Its Matters.
About the Conference
Alexander Tocilescu does not fall short of his constant concern for investigating recent history. After successfully staging plays such as "A Day from the Life of Nicolae Ceausescu", "Elizaveta Bam", "Red Comedy" (within the NTB programme "The Trial of Communism through Theatre"), "Zoica’s House", the well-known director holds at the NTB Conferences a lecture entitled "About Theatre and Its Matters", on the ever-present topic of resistance through culture.
''The topic of the conference would be an attempt to clarify aspects of resistance through culture in the field of theatre: how and if this existed!'', declares the director who enacted in full censorship an extraordinary "Hamlet" in an anti-communist key.
Recall that on March 27th, the World Theatre Day is celebrated symbolically - which lends Alexander Tocilescu’s conference a special significance.
