Amphitheatre

Luiza Zan and Muse Quartet invit you to witness love sung by vocal chords accompanied by a string quartet—a concert featuring a selection of original pieces and songs from the vast repertoire on the theme of love, ranging from British folk to American jazz, as well as compositions written and arranged for the Muse Quartet by Luiza. The thread of love, woven through a feminine voice, will be unraveled in a concert fantasy filled with musical pastels and butterfly wings of emotion. The interplay between Luiza Zan’s voice and the divine touches on the strings of the Muse Quartet (Alina Horez—first violin, Nicoleta Petre—second violin, Maria Coltatu – viola, Alexandra Pascaru – cello) will bring classic jazz to the open-air amphitheater, with musical arrangements forming a repertoire dedicated to romantic, eternal, poetic love—the kind our times have forgotten even exists in the world. “Summer Nights, Up at the Theater” at the Open-Air Amphitheater is a program presented by the “I.L. Caragiale” National Theater Association of Bucharest. The performance is presented in partnership with Overground Music.

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.           Stefan Lupu: The Placebo (D)Effect intertwines three stories of apparently normal people in an abnormal society, forcing more and more actively the 21st century individual to become artificial, dependent and lonely, against his will, with a great and surprising lack of judgment. As fabulous as the technological evolution of the last decades is, as deprived of essence we become involuntarily, thus moving away from the human spirit and qualities. Our thoughts and lives "are galloping on optic fibre" and our whole universe seems to become increasingly toxic and harmful, us ending up expressing our feelings per e-mail. The Placebo (D)Effect is a caustic show, debating the conflict between the natural and the artificial, the real and unreal, the plastic and the biodegradable human soul. Everything is rendered on stage on a comic note, with dramatic dancing reflections. The escape from a real world to a virtual one in which everything seems to be perfect, forces the viewer to ask himself which are the truly important things in our bipolar, plasticised life, carefully wrapped like a product with an expiry date. The Effect of the (D)effect translates into the desire to hold a loved one in your arms and to tell him / her "so happy to see you", "I missed you", "I love you".

A performance not recommended for children under 14. One of Romania’s most beloved pop-rock bands, Taxi has constantly reinvented itself, offering not just concerts, but true spectacles. Through the songs he creates, Dan Teodorescu expresses his beliefs, emotions, and wide range of concerns: from social messages (“Cryogenics Saves Romania,” “Here’s Your Money,” “Politicians,” “Like Them”) to ballads sung by entire generations (“My Other Half,” “I Miss You and It Hurts,” “Falling Stars,” “The Two Words,” “Overdose of Longing,” “My 16-Year-Old Heart”), and covering the inevitable issues of relationships (“Karma, Zen, and Feng Shui,” “I’ll Let My Belly Hang Out for You,” “Non-Stop”). A Taxi concert is a journey through newer and older songs, through stories and questions about life, love, and other things that matter to us. Whether it’s about social and political life or about love, Taxi’s approach is always original, with humor and irony becoming the band’s trademark. “Summer Nights, Up at the Theater” at the Open-Air Amphitheater is a program presented by the “I.L. Caragiale” National Theater Association of Bucharest. The performance is presented in partnership with Overground Music.
