Theatres in Moldova prepare for World Theatre Day

Theatres in Moldova prepare to celebrate the World Theatre Day, celebrated on March 27, hoping to impress the audience with new plays. “Mihai Eminescu” National Theatre is working intensively to present two new plays on the occasion of the celebration, Info-Prim Neo reports. Head of theatre’s Press Centre Veronica Solcan told Info-Prim Neo that the troupe of the National Theatre prepares to present two new plays - “The Door” by Matei Visniek and directed by Vitalie Drucec and “In a Snake Skin” after the play “Orpheus Descending” by Tennessee Williams and directed by Valeriu Jereghi. The premiere will take place on March 24-25 in the Studio Hall “Valeriu Cupcea”, the second performance – on March 30 and 31 on the big stage of the Theatre. On the occasion of the two events, the cited source says that a press conference will be held on March 20, and on March 21 – a conference of the theatre critics and historians. The critics and admirers of theatrical art say that the theatre is one of the great inventions of humanity. Over the centuries, the theatre presented a mirror to the world and explained the place human beings belong to. Melpomene, the muse of tragedy, comes from Dante’s country, from the galleries of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Rafael d’Urbino. The World Theatre Day was instituted in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI). It is celebrated each year on March 27 by ITI Centres and the international theatre community, various national and international theatre events being organised on this occasion.
