A production of the German State Theatre Timişoara
Performance in German with translation into Romanian.
In 2013, the German State Theatre can look back on a turbulent history. Founded on the 1st of January 2013 as the German section of the State Theatre Timişoara, continuing a German theatrical tradition that goes back to the middle of the 17th century, the theatre won its administrative independence in 1956 under the name German State Theatre Timișoara. Since then, the theatre produced more than 400 shows that were presented over 10.000 times.The theatre was challenged by the emigration of its German core audience. Today the shows are visited by a diverse audience consisting of those spectators who already know or are learning German, and those who don't know the language. Therefore every performance is translated into Romanian.Until some years ago, the theatre often took trips to Romanian locations with German population. Recently, the theatre is often invited to participate in bigger festivals. So far, the theatre played guest performances in Germany, Austria, Poland, Georgia, Hungary, France, Croatia and Serbia.The German State Theatre has reinvented itself many times since its foundation – developing from an identity promoting cultural institution of the German community in Romania into a theatre producer of national renown that foreign colleagues are displaying interest in. So it played guest performances and toured to festivals in Germany, Austria, Poland, Georgia, Hungary, France, Croatia, Serbia and Georgia.This gala celebrates 60 years of German State Theatre, 60 years of curiosity, 60 years of solidarity, 60 years of development, 60 years of cultural bridging – to many more years to come! Happy Birthday!
