The Váróterem Projekt came home with an award from the Butterfly Effect Independent Theatre Festival. Organized by the Social Act Theatre, concentrating mostly on plays that reflect our social reality, the festival hosted our play called Occupy Yourself (directed by Cosmin Matei). From 17 performances the jury awarded three: Occupy Yourself was awarded for “the strength and efficiency of performance, proactively modifying the perceptions of addictions”. The Replika Theatre and Educational Centre from Bucharest – where our company presented the above mentioned play last May – won two awards for the Ro Vegan and the Memories from the school era (Amintiri din epoca de școală) plays. This represents the second award for the Váróterem Projekt company: earlier they won an award with the play Advertego at the National Independent Theatre Festival in Bucharest. We would like to express our thanks to the organizers, whom created a high quality, well organized event with a good atmosphere; to the audience, which, despite the language difficulties, were actively contributing to the play; and, not least, to the jury for according us this award. Thank you very much!
