The international festival The Week of Short Play Theatre aims at promoting the short play and the one-act performance in all its forms: reading show, poetry recital, studio performance, experimental or repertory theatre.
The festival takes place every two years, in October. During its fifteen editions, the festival included memorable shows belonging to national and to foreign companies from Hungary, Italy, France, Japan, Czech Republic, Croatia and Moldavia. Some of the best known contemporary writers, directors, actors, and critics were welcomed in Oradea and won the special attention of the public and of the organizers.
Among the prestigious stage directors who marked the evolution of the festival are Alexandru Tocilescu, Alexandru Dabija, Tompa Gábor, Alexandru Darie, Victor Ioan Frunză, Mihai Mălaimare, Petru Vutcărău, and Ion Sapdaru.
For the future, our purpose is to bring together in Oradea famous personalities of Romanian and international theatre, actors, directors, playwrights, trying to offer to the public worthy performances from the repertories of the state theatres, but also belonging to the ever more attractive repertories of independent theatre companies. We hope to preserve intact the spectators’ interest for the short play.
We kindly and warmly invite you to our next editions of the festival The Week of Short Play Theatre.
