The musical "Here We Are!" - starting January 2025, at NTB

The jukebox musical Here we are!, a co-production of 2024 Touchstone Creative and the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theatre in Bucharest, is a new musical show on the NTB's bill, performed by young actors Laura Gabriela Oana, Andreea Gaica, Dragos Ionita, Andrei Marcuta and Andrei Dutu, accompanied by the orchestrations of Bogdan Morosanu (Rockabella).
Staged this summer in Bucharest, in a national premiere, at the 10th anniversary of the underground band Rockabella, and presented at the Sala Media of the NTB, "Here We Are!" returns to the stage of the National Theater in Bucharest after a national mini-tour.
Written by Andrei Radu and Natalie Ester on music and lyrics by Teodorei Morosanu (Rockabella), directed by Natalie Ester and Ionut Grama, this performance, produced by Touchstone Creative in partnership with the "I L. Caragiale" National Theatre in Bucharest, was co-funded by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund. The script of the show, which aims to artistically explore through musicals the phenomenon of youth migration, is based on real facts and experiences shared by young people who took part in the storytelling workshops "Until Far Away" of the project, developed by playwright Ana Cucu-Popescu and director Natalie Ester.
The musical "Here We Are!" returns to the stage and continues its way to the hearts of the public with its inclusion in the repertoire of the current season of the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theater in Bucharest. The first performances to which we invite you, this time at the Sala Atelier, are scheduled on January 18 and 23, 2025, from 19:00.
The new performance at the Bucharest National Theatre is a bittersweet song of young people who have gone abroad, of those who want to cross the border and of the stories that have carried them on their way to maturity.
The end of 12th grade. We experience, with the young performers, the joy of prom. We go through the excitement of the high school exam, then forget our worries on the sand of the party in Vama Veche. We take a deep breath, look into the eyes of our friends and vow never to part. Then we hit the road. And passions, ambitions, potential, families, 'the system' - or all of them together - push us to different corners of the world... And promises once made on a beach remain a footnote in a diary: 'Someone find our way back'.
Between rock chords, fulfilled dreams and missed chances, five "No Answer" friends think they are "Invulnerable" and raise the "White Flag" in the hope of reliving an encore together.
Audiences will find life stories inspired by true events and fans of local rock music will enjoy new interpretations of songs from the albums "Clarobscur" and "Invulnerabili".
The creative team also included Ioana Pashca (scenography), Filip Stoica (choreography), Georgiana Mototolea (vocal preparation), Andrei Délczeg (lighting design), Alexandra Suditu (production assistant), Bianca Archip (lighting operator) and Alina Epingeac (theaterlogist).
