Nottara Theatre Tour in London

Nottara Theatre Tour in London

09 - 19/11/2011 @ The Pit, Barbican Centre


Nottara Theatre from Bucharest showcases, at Barbican Centre, Vlad Massaci's stage version of Festen by Thomas Vinterberg and Mogens Rukov. The production is a sample of world class directing and performance and marks the come back of the Romanian theatre on the London stage after more than 13 years of absence.

Based on the first, multi-award-winning Danish film that emerged from the Dogme 95 movement, this movingly realised stage version blends nuanced performances from its Bucharest ensemble, urging us to reflect on the lasting consequences of turning away from the truth.

Festen is the story of the Klingenfeldt-Hansen family gathered to celebrate a patriarch's 60th birthday. But festivities around the banquet table are interrupted as a startling secret, left to fester over years, is exposed. In Massaci's personal view, the story of the troubled Klingenfeldt-Hansen family is the story of the very society we live in: "one that rejects dealing with recent history. If shrinks for nations existed, we should be making appointments" (Vlad Massaci).

Festen @ The Pit is a rare opportunity to encounter several generations of Romanian actors. The exceptional cast includes Alexandru Repan, Emil Hossu, Catrinel Dumitrescu, Ion Grosu and the young Ada Navrot and Dan Bordeianu.

There will be a post show talk on 14 November when Guardian journalist John O'Mahony and Romanian theatre critic Anca Ioniţă will be in conversation with director Vlad Massaci.

Festen @ The Pit is part of Barbican International Theatre Events. The bite season presents fresh new work that hovers on the very edges of classification. Work that marries dance, theatre and music in unexpected ways, explores what theatre could be, stirs emotions, is passionate, mischievous and makes you smile.

About the theatre and the director

Nottara Theatre is one of the oldest repertoire theatres in Bucharest, with a distinctive artistic voice in the Romanian cultural landscape. Acknowledged over the years by audiences and critics alike for the company's outstanding creative ensemble, Nottara has mounted in time over 320 exciting Romanian and international productions. Having showcased work at numerous festivals across the world, from Ukraine to Uruguay, Festen at The Barbican marks the theatre's UK debut.
Director Vlad Massaci is a long-term collaborator of the Nottara Theatre, where he has previously mounted The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh (2005), Platonov by Cehov (2008) and Festen (2009). Self-defined as an advocate of simplicity in theatre, Massaci places the ensemble at the heart of the production, and the world of the production within each actor. His artistic vision is confirmed by the critically acclaimed performances.

Performed in Romanian with English surtitles.

HOT LOVE, COLD HEARTS
THE ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN LONDON, 8th EDITION

BREAKING NEWS!
 
Dear Friends,

We take great pleasure in announcing the new edition of the Romanian Film Festival in London, now a traditional event for all lovers of Romanian culture and film.

Once again we are bringing to London a showcase of some of the best Romanian movies, and this time we are featuring matters of the heart. As you know, Romanians take pride in their Latin origins, and being a Latin lover of some kind comes naturally to us – hence the title. All the films in the programme have something to do with love, but given that they come from the land of the Romanian New Wave, things are not as simple as they appear and there is a twist to this emotion.

However, since this is only a teaser, meant to whet your appetite and leave you hankering for more, we are not going to mention that the festival’s gala screening will be Radu Muntean’s carefully observed quotidian drama TUESDAY, AFTER CHRISTMAS.

We are also going to keep quiet about the UK premieres of Catalin Mitulescu’s LOVERBOY and Lucian Georgescu’s PHANTOM FATHER (boasting an impressive performance from Marcel Iures), nor will we tell you about the UK premieres of the short films LORD by Adrian Sitaru and SUPERMAN, SPIDERMAN, OR BATMAN by Tudor Giurgiu.

And just to keep you on your toes, we want to assure you that we’re not going to say a word about the fact that our Romanian Film Festival also includes a film that irked dictator Ceausescu so much that he banned it: Lucian Pintilie’s savage satire on the communist regime, CARNIVAL SCENES.

As you see, our hearts are as cold as stone (in keeping with the festival’s title). We shall keep our lips sealed for now, and refuse to mention that the closing film of the festival is Anca Damian’s critically acclaimed animated documentary CRULIC. Until the next release, you will not find out anything more about HOT LOVE, COLD HEARTS, the Romanian Film Festival in London, 8th edition.

We remain heartlessly yours,

The Romanian Film Festival Team
