CSET FESZT: Beszélgetés / In conversation with Gianina Cărbunariu
Renown Theatremaker and the director of Piatra Neamţ Youth Theatre, Gianina Cărbunariu - in conversation with Tamás Jászay
Schedule
Gianina Cărbunariu is one of the best-known figures of the young Romanian playwriting and directing generation. She is one of the founders of the dramAcum movement that ‘revived’ Romanian theatre in the early 2000s. Her name is well known in Hungary as several of her plays, like Tiger, mady-baby.edu, Stop the tempo or 20/20 have been presented on Hungarian stages.
Cărbunariu’s work focuses on the present and recent past, on social, public and political phenomena. Her approach is documentary, her working method collaborative. Her characters are often young people, and Cărbunariu directs the audience’s attention through their eyes. Humour and irony are important in her works, that questions dominant narratives with a multi-focused, fragmented reading.
Born in Piatra Neamț, Romania. Since 2017 she has been running the Teatrul Tineretului (Youth Theatre) Piatra Neamț.
Tamás Jászay is a theater critic, university lecturer, editor-in-chief of Revizor - the critical portal
Jurányi House
The Jurányi Production Community Incubator House has become a key venue in the capital's cultural life, a vibrant hub of the contemporary art scene.
Our aim in creating the Jurányi was to find a stable, shared home for the independent theatre and creative arts sector, providing the infrastructure necessary for its day-to-day operations. We wanted to create a cultural centre in the Buda area, a "contemporary art house" where theatre-loving young people could spend a few hours over a coffee or even a theatre performance, a creative children's activity or an acrobatic movement class, thus re-filling the abandoned educational institution with an active community life.
Jurányi is more than just a theatre in Buda, it is a creative and creative base where visitors can enjoy a varied artistic, community, and educational program, in addition to a regular repertoire of 300 productions a year. We are proud that the Jurányi House is now a graduation subject in some art schools.
