Night Theater presents an exciting theatrical experience, where the city becomes a co-creator of the story and the audience is invited to travel into a unique world and discover the fascination of the night in an unexpected way.

I think a city lives a double life at night. Not everyone sleeps at night. Neither do we; we are on the move, on a bus at night, to discover the stories that Timișoara has to offer, says Cătălin.

All his projects start from reality and begin with a period of research in which, together with the team he works with, he tries to shape the theme of the show based on what he discovers in the field. When he and Andreea had their first discussions about the text, they decided that they didn’t want to mold their story to the city, but to mold themselves to the stories that the city offers.

Timișoara is the one that influenced the construction of the piece. Before there was even a single word on the page, I explored the city, both on foot and by car, with Cătălin. I hope the city’s atmosphere is easily acknowledged in the story I’ve thought up, because it’s the first time I’ve worked on a text so personalized on a specific element, in this case – Timișoara. By the very nature of the show, with the bus route, I felt the need for the story itself to contain a number of details that I discovered during my time in Timișoara. Even if the situations outlined are universally valid, the difference lies precisely in the elements that exist in and define this city, adds Andreea.

Although the theme tackled – safety at night – is a general one, and the situations outlined could most likely happen in any other city, the main character remains the nocturnal Timișoara. We invite you to discover it with us!
