On March 19, 2018 we present for the first time the newest show of Váróterem Projekt, entitled Grove. The show is written and directed by Botos Bálint, this collaboration being the third with the ensemble after the shows Advertego and Zero shows.

A small and quiet town somewhere in the plain. The actress, who is currently facing a personal and professional crisis, comes home. She comes to sell her inheritance, and to gather her thoughts in the silence of the little town. Everything seems simple: she just solves the inheritance, meets with a few old friends, then she returns to continue her daily routine.

During the short visit, under the silence of the little town, the past starts moving, a part of the inheritance that is not governed by law, which we all carry in ourselves. As these layers come slowly to the surface, the personal crisis of the actress deepens, until it comes to the size of the community.

The set design of the show was made by Cosmin Matei, the costumes created by Gábor Zsófia. The music was composed by Bocsárdi Magor. The show is played by: Csepei Zsolt, Imecs-Magdó Levente, Pál Emőke, Sebők Maya, Sipos Júlia, Udvari-Kardos Tímea and Mostis Gergő who plays for the first time with the company.

The performance was funded by AFCN, NKA and EMMI. Our partners are Mesele Vesele and the K + community space.

We therefore look forward to seeing you at the first Groveshow on March 19, starting at 19 in the ZUG (Traian Street no. 40-42).

The ensemble of Váróterem Projekt in collaboration with the Puck Puppet Theater will present the children’s show entitled “Dragon Works” at Puck Puppet Theater (Cluj-Napoca, 23rd Brătianu Street) on February 28th, from 6 PM and on March 3th , from 11 o’clock.

The show is recommended for children from the age of 7, it includes several techniques for handling puppets and is based on stories written by children from III-VII grades for the tale writing contest.

“The three daughters of the King of the Land of Tales wake up in a strange place: a dark room. It seems that somebody has blew over them a tick haze of sleep and – hold on – has kidnapped them. The three princesses find out that they are locked up with Yummy Mummy, who hopes that her Bite Knight will find her and release her. As you probably suspect, the kidnapper is the dragon himself. The girls try with all their power, knowledge and intuition to find the key to escape. ”
