A lively, engaging and provocative show, about the artificial world we inhabit, about the loneliness caused by excessive communication, about the human in us and about the danger of technological progress. About the things we have forgotten or replaced with technology, about the fear to return to the real life … because the virtual one has become more satisfying. The Placebo (D)Effect is a show with a guaranteed therapeutic effect. Because both the laughter and the thrill, but also the stories told with honesty, the dance and especially the music belong to our human identity. A show reminding us of the importance of real life. 3 stories, 3 relationships and an encounter like a therapy session, where the only therapist is the theatre. 100% 9G at NTB. 100% about the world nowadays.          Translated by Simona Nichiteanu       Details  

The play of the famous American playwright was translated and performed for the first time on our stages. The Two Character Play is an autobiographic story, in which life and art intertwine, and the spectator is invited to do an exercise of imagination. Tennessee Williams, the author of fragile worlds and glass menageries, opens himself to us, confesses and whispers his story and that of his sister. ‘But you don’t know Miss Rose and you never will, unless you come to know her through my play. This is why I will put her on the bookshelf or on the theatre stage for you’. Iris Spiridon takes her out of the shelf and brings her on stage, in a paper reality that imitates life to such an extent that it comes to be identified with the ideal fantasy of a book. It is a book (conceived and completed by the scenographer Cristina Milea) who has all the cards to enter another book, namely that of records, if not for the dimensions (as existing data on the Internet shows), then most certainly for the beauty and the poetry of the image. Inside its pages, Istvan Teglaş and Ioana Mărcoiu come to life in The Two Character Play. ‘Among the themes of the play one can identify claustrophobia, isolation and mental illnesses. Two actors, Clare and Felice, the same as the characters who interpret them, don’t manage to clarify themselves and evade their damaged mental state, no matter how hard they struggle. The spectators are also faced with the dark truths of what being human means while they are watching The Two Character Play. It is an illusion without illusion, a play without a script, a grain of truth which lacks discernment.’ – Iris Spiridon Translated by Manuela Chira Cristina    

“Buy Nothing Day” is a fresh show which feels the young generation’s pulse in a brave and witting manner. Loaded with vital messages from the present-day social, political and economical spheres, “Buy Nothing Day” tells us about the change that emerges from every individual. The play makes a call to humor (without drifting into sarcasm), activism (with no suggestion of extremism) and to contemporary, scintillating artistic solutions in terms of sound, set and design. Kim Atle Hansen is a Norwegian play writer, actor and activist, author of several plays about problems of today’s society. He works at Norske Theater, and “Buy Nothing Day” is his most known play, set so far in the UK, Brazil, Italy, The USA and Russia. “This text is destined rather to a performative convention than a type of emotionally motivated game” More details  Translated by Podaru Gina MTTLC, University of Bucharest

A production of the "Ion Sava" Center for Theater Research and Creation   Details of the show 

Musical play that is not a Music Hall” A project carried out under the programme “9G at NTB” (A New Generation of creators)   If we were to define the genre we cannot call it as being a concert, a musical play, a musical improvisation or an acting exercise. It is only a play in which you shall laugh…really, 3 actors and other 20 partners… or musical instruments. The tonight orchestra transforms the concert into a theatre performance, as the backstage actions are more spectacular than the stage performance. Instruments are getting crazy and the artists are a dispersion of sounds. A humourous story, where three characters are fighting for the (constantly) impredictible path of supremacy on stage. A concert in which are stored a cheerful, sonorous and rhythmic story. Are you ready for an hour of musical and theatrical marathon which goes, at the speed of light, from Mozart to rock…and chansonettes? Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for maximum laughter.
