We welcome you in the ZUG for the 2017-2018 season with a richer program than ever before. For the first time in the history of Váróterem Projekt, we are preparing a total of four premieres.

Firslty, at the end of this month, we will launch our new production: the first collaboration of our ensemble with director Sinkó Ferenc. Everything is unpredictable, just like the results of a board game or a football match. Especially if we grab some paint brushes in our hand… On September 29th and 30th Unpredicted.

On October 30th we address the little ones: we will have the premiere of the production Dragon works directed by Imecs-Magdó Levente, based on the stories from the storywriting contest entitled Heroes. The show is produced in partnership with the Puppet Teather Puck.

The rest of the season will be centered around trilogies: in December we will present a new production directed by Botos Bálint, which marks the third joint production, and in April we will explore the subject of bullying together with director Cosmin Matei.

Furthermore, our program will include our older productions as well, like: Zero, Occupy Yourself, Tuesday – choirtemporary show, Advertego which can all be seen in ZUG, as well as Reacting Chernobyl, with which we will be present at various festivals. In the first part of May, 2018 there is a tour with three stations in Hungary included in our plans.

Our goal at the same time is that our children‘s performances and the production Bánk bán? Present! – for the distribution of which Buchmann Wilhelm has recently joined – to be played regularly in schools in Cluj-Napoca.

This is the exciting new season to which we invite you to. Let‘s meet in the ZUG, and not only!

The summer music festivals are ending, but the Váróterem Projekt is just beginning it’s autumn festival tours. In September we are fulfilling two invitations, both with the performance Reacting Chernobyl by Cosmin Matei. On September the 12th we will play at the International Theatre Festival at Turda (FIT), and on the 21st of September we will present our performance at Satu Mare, at the Tranzit Fest. In October and November there are other festival invitations waiting for us. Good luck to us!

In the 2016/2017 season the Váróterem Project played 62 shows in all. Half of these were presented in our own studio, in the ZUG: we played 15 performances for adults and 19 for kids, on the ZUG’s stage. Approximately 1490 spectators were curious of our work, and decided to spend there free time with us.
We had two premieres: in september 2016 we presented our performance 4 steps in the Bánffy Castle, at Bonțida, directed by Paul Sarvadi. And in this year’s January our repertoire was enriched with the performance called Reacting Chernobyl. We presented a work in progress performance called Heroes and heroines (working title), based on tales written by elementary and secondary school children, directed by Imecs-Magdó Levente. The production will be on program in the next season.
We fulfilled eight festival invitations, from which we came home with two awards: our performance called Occupy Yourself, directed by Cosmin Matei, won two awards at the festivals from Galați and Bucharest. Also is worth mentioning the event called ClujWeek, at the Bethlen Téri Theatre, in Budapest, where we presented three of our performances.
We had two tours with our school-room performance, Bánk Bán? Present!: one longer, in Budapest and Szeged (Hungary), and one a bit shorter in the Hungarian diaspora in Romania, which we hope will be continued. On these tours we presented our performance 11 times, reaching approximately 450 students with this adaptation of Katona József’s drama.
In March we organized for the first time our children’s festival called GézenZUG (Rascals in the ZUG), where we got to present all of our children shows. It was a great experience.
As was the whole season. Thank you for being with us!
