On Sunday, September 19th, 2021, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the radio show Pope John Paul II was presented, with the actor Ion Caramitru as the lead performer, whose voice resonated in a touching manner under the vaults of the impressive cathedral.
On Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, in the foyer of the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre, the photography exhibition Shylock- the Last Role will be opened, presented by Florin Ghioca, the official photographer of the National Theatreof Bucharest. The event will be attended by actors Oana Pellea and Mircea Rusu who will perform the same evening, immediately after the opening, the show The Beauty of Venice in September, directed by Mariana Cămărăşan, a show that represents the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theatre at the current edition of the Theatrical Reunion from Kishinev.
On Saturday, September 26th, 2021, at the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre, there will be a special screening of the recording of the show The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, directed by Alexander Morfov, in which Ion Caramitru performs his last Shakespearean role, Shylock ... The recording is a production of NTB's Media Studio, filmed in special conditions.
The encounter of the National Theatresof Kishinev had as a starting point the project Romanian Theatre in Bucharest and Kishinev, an exchange of tours between the "IL Caragiale" National Theatre of Bucharest and the "Mihai Eminescu" National Theatre of Kishinev, a common idea of the two managers of partner institutions, Ion Caramitru and Petru Hadârcă.
"This year's meeting is under the spiritual aura of Ion Caramitru, the artist who carries the legend and, in turn, the creator of the legend - human and artistic. We have prepared the event of the Reunion of the Romanian National Theatres, the 6th edition (it should have been the seventh, if the pandemic had not prevented us) as a celebration of the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre, which has regained, throughout the 100 for years of creation and turmoil, despite barbaric political intrusions, it regained, through the energies of the Romanian language and the efforts of its artists, the right to freedom of creation and ideas, and contributed to the spiritual survival of several generations of spectators” stated Petru Hadârcă, manager of the National Theatreof Kishinev, on this occasion.
The photography exhibition "Shylock - the Last Role" will remain open and can be visited by spectators in the foyer of the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre in Kishinev throughout September.
