After a rehearsal period with several stages and many test-presentations, we have finally arrived to the premiere! On Thursday, November 18, at 12:30, we present our theater-in-education performance entitled All The Things People Like To Talk About for 12th class students.
The performance was inspired by one of the basic myths of the Hoia-forest near Cluj-Napoca, according to which a shepherd with two hundred sheep once disappeared without a trace in the forest, famous for its paranormal phenomena. However, the popular legend is only the starting point of the story: in parallel with the events from the past, we can see the age-specific struggles and turbulent relationship of a high school couple today, which is fatefully intertwined with the legend of the past.
The issues raised in the presentation primarily invite the high school age group to dialogue, the thematic issues range from the crisis of relationships, through the social expectations of different ages, to responsibility. The lecture was written with the intention of educating, so we also invite students to a conversation, which we hope will result in an open and useful exchange of ideas along the issues raised by the show.
The text was written by Zsolt Csepei and Andrej Visky, based on the idea of Zsuzsa Hajós. Cast: Zsolt Csepei, Levente Imecs-Magdó, Hunor-József Varga and Orsolya Veres. Directed by: Visky Andrej.
The performance was supported by the National Cultural Fund (NKA). Other sponsors are the Communitas Foundation and the UDMR, as well as the Kerekasztal Társulás.
