Throughout February, Figura
Studio Theatre offers a diverse range of performances to captivate audiences.
Their program provides entertainment, laughter, and also opportunities for
reflection on various life situations for both children and adults.
Through a stage adaptation of
Lázár Ervin's storybook, we gain a glimpse into the circus world with the help
of Szigfrid, Szilvia, and Panka. The performance tells a story about the border
between childhood and adulthood and the importance of friendship, all through
the lens of the circus world. Children in Miercurea Ciuc can see the
performance as part of the Csíki Játékszín subscription system, and on February
13, at 1:00 PM, the troupe will present the story of Bruckner Szigfrid and
Panka to the audience in Miercurea Nirajului. The production, with the director
Kolozsi Borsos Gábor, dramaturg Balázs Helga, set and costume designer Huszár
Kató, and composer Barti Lehel-András, involves both a young child and lions.
At the beginning of the month, a
well-known title, Ház a határon ("House at the Border"),
makes a return. The play raises several themes, such as the responsibility
associated with power and the shaping of individual fates in the political
sphere. Based on Sławomir Mrożek's short story, this performance will be shown
on February 8 at 7:00 PM at the Öntöde stage. Directed by Attila Keresztes,
with set and costume designs by Blanka-Alíz Bajkó, and music and sound design
by Csaba Boros.
The troupe members aim to help
students understand an obligatory reading for the maturity exam, presenting
Imre Madách's masterpiece, The Tragedy of Man, condensed into 50
minutes. The interactive lessons will take place on February 11 at 10:00 AM and
12:00 PM at Salamon Ernő High School. The director is Szófia Deli, dramaturg B.
Markó Orsolya, and the play's dramatic structure is managed by Lina Zétényi.
Fodor Alain Leonard's solo
performance Drug Diary, based on the book by writer, journalist, and
film critic Viktor Kubiszyn, delves into the vicious circle of addiction, the
difficulties of quitting, and the possibilities of final purification. One of
the main goals of the performance is drug prevention, but it also highlights
human nature's weaknesses. Performances will take place on February 11 at 1:00
PM for organized groups and at 7:00 PM for the general public. Both
performances will be held at the Öntöde building.
This season, the Figura Theatre
is preparing presentations of productions that were part of their repertoire in
the early years of the theatre. Ubu Roi was seen by the public twice,
first in 1987, and then in 1991, both times directed by László Bocsárdi. In the
first part of Alfred Jarry's four-part drama series, we meet Papa Ubu and Mama
Ubu. Encouraged by his wife, Papa Ubu kills the Polish king and takes the
throne. The play offers insight into both the good and bad sides of human
nature through several real and fictional characters. Directed by Sardar
Tagirovsky, with assistant director Márk Cristopher Demeter, set designer Kata
Mihály, costume designer Beáta Sós, and composer Gábor Kolozsi Borsos. The
premiere will be held on February 21 at 7:00 PM, with subsequent performances
scheduled for February 26 and 28.
Tickets can be purchased online
in advance at www.figura.ro, or at the venue before the performances.
