Simona Semenič - Tomi Janežič 1978
Theatre performance “1978” directed by Slovenian theatre director Tomi Janežič at Timisoara Hungarian Theatre is about Romania in the 70s, a trans-generational documentary fiction based on actors’ and director’s personal stories. It is a story about communist times, which grows out of a Romanian apartment, a story related to many local and global events that connect the regions of Timisoara and Nova Gorica (Slovenia) - on the border with Italy - cities that were both part of the same country once upon a time: the Austro-Hungarian empire. More then hundred years ago dozens of thousands of Hungarian soldiers fought at Isonzo front.
SWAN LAKE REVISITED
What happened to fairy tales?
What happened to the swans?
What happened to the lake?
What happened to us?
When did we leave fairy tales without even noticing?
What do we believe in today, threading on the barren land which used to be a lake?
Are we still capable of telling fairy tales?
If we are, does what we say still resemble a fairy tale?
If it does, will our fairy tale have a happy ending?
Performed in Hungarian with and Romanian and English surtitles

About the theatre
The "Csiky Gergely" Hungarian State Theatre in Timișoara covers the preferences of the town's multicultural audience through a rich repertoire, sensitive to the taste of the public for the classic or contemporary authors. Therefore, we offer different types of performances: classic and contemporary theatre, one-man performances, non-verbal performances, music, puppets and marionette theatre plays. Our public benefits from a simultaneous translation into Romanian (earphones or surtitles) in order to facilitate access, but also to show that the language is not an impediment, but a binder.
