The Anotimpuri show (script and direction: Bogdan Sărătean) will be performed THREE times in the closing of the LETTERS FOR OUR GRANDPARENTS project, run by the Bis Association within the national cultural program Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023.

The THREE performances will take place at the MERLIN THEATER in Timișoara according to the following schedule:

Friday November 10, 2:00 p.m.;
Saturday 11 November, 12:00 and 17:00 (TWO performances on the same day).

We therefore invite you to an enchantment suitable for all spectators between the ages of 6 and 106.

It seems that the seasons have disappeared from our planet for some time.

Only the grandparents still tell how there were four seasons in their time.

But here is an 11-year-old child named Matei who discovered what scientists failed to do. The seasons were stolen and hidden in the cellar by a ruthless Ogre.

Or maybe it's not an Ogre, but a certain neighbor called Peacock. And maybe this neighbor isn't as much of an ogre as he seems, maybe he's just a lonely and sad man.

Matei decides to send a series of letters to the ogre in the neighborhood, with the idea of improving him and returning the seasons to people.

The production is part of the "Letters for our grandparents" project, implemented by the BIS Cultural Association in Sibiu, in partnership with structures in Timișoara (Directorate of Social Assistance Timișoara, Water Museum, Diogene Cultural Association) and outside the country (Help Age International, branch Republic of Moldova).

The basis of the project is the idea of correspondence, through handwritten letters, between children from vulnerable social backgrounds and single elderly people from Timiș County and the Republic of Moldova. The script brings together fragments of their letters, and some of the children and grandparents involved in the project will be on stage, along with professional actors.
