Euripides’ Orestes is an exceptional play because it addresses two things that I consider very important at this moment in my life. The first is the right to Speech. Speech is a great gift for humanity and must be used to move forward. To claim. To persuade. Especially, to communicate without hiding anything.

The second element, for me, is Youth. Youth gives me the right to make mistakes, I can be enthusiastic and despair in a second, without this being negatively criticised. And that is only possible because I am young.

But, the most important thing of all in Euripides’ work is the element of Suspension. Like the author himself, his heroes are constantly suspended between two conditions, two situations, two decisions.

This was also the core of working with the actors and collaborators.

How difficult it is always to find yourself between two situations.

– Yiannis Paraskevopoulos

Tony Bulandra Theatre is an alive and kicking repertoire theatre in Târgoviște city in Romania, with a rich activity of almost nine premieres per year. It finds its reason for being, in the need for Beauty and in the desire to offer it to the spectators. The aesthetic, the artistic Beauty which is above all human classifications, inherited ever since the ancient populations.

Tony Bulandra Theatre is a laboratory of transforming the profane elements into sacred ones, elevating the being above being through modern approaches of prestigious national and international directors on plays from the worldwide theatrical patrimony.

At Tony Bulandra Theatre young people work for other young people because they are the ones that experience each time the wonder of being. In search of contemporary texts and young dramaturgy, the theatre company is trying to fulfil, through the tackled themes, the need for a community theatre, aware of the present social context.

Tony Bulandra Theatre has a past, a present and a future. It places signs on the Time-lapse in order to perpetually (re)gain the path to the Soul. It was founded on the 30th of January 2002. From its beginning until the present, the theatre company has been participating and presenting productions in national and international theatre festivals.

Moreover, Tony Bulandra Theatre organises an International Festival of Performing Arts called “Babel”, which has reached its 12th edition and each year awaits valuable artists from all around the world to rejoice together through essential artistic meetings.
