Directing

Crossroads

The Maladype Theatre launched its “Crossroads” project in 2011. The program’s main goal is to present artistic directions, theatres and workshops that represent new trends in cultural life, enhance new artistic initiatives, help in establishing new ways of contacts with the audience and foster ties among different countries. That way the European independent theatres are given the possibility to cooperate and establish a network that helps them in creating new meeting points for dialogue and interaction.

The Maladype Theatre has benefited a lot from its international ties: by establishing them it has the possibility to get acquainted with various theatrical troupes, traditions and institutions. We consider our important task also to present new trends, and young talents to our spectators. We invite theatres and performances that can adapt easily themselves to our location and technical conditions.

As part of Maladype’s Crossroads program series, the performance Directing by National Theatre, Tompa Miklós Company, Tărgu-Mureş is shown at the Ódry Stage (Padlás/Attic) of the University of Theatre And Film Arts on June 13. Maladype launched its Crossroads series in 2011 with the aim to present artistic trends, theaters, and workshops that strengthen cultural innovation, linguistic diversity, and networking among audiences between our countries. As part of the series, Maladype Theatre hosted, among others, Teatr Baza, Theatro Potlach, Mini Teater, adn Teatrul Act.

About the play:
Secrets are present in all our lives. They circle around us: their echo arises from the walls and the image from the mirror. We sometimes withhold our secrets because of love, other times, because of workplace duties or simply we just do not say anything voluntarily. In our opinion. But this is our own truth. Only the instinct of survival encourages us to pretend that we care about the other ones truth. In fact we are all actors. Our walk in life is a Möbius strip, which always turns in such a way, that we do not fall. In the meantime, due to some miracle our two dimensional reality shapes into a three dimensional stage.
