Iasi theatrical destinies

The keeping of Iași theatrical personalities in the collective memory is a moral duty of researchers in the field. Accepting this principle, the project Iași Theatrical Destinies, carried out within the faculty of theater at George Enescu National University of Arts from Iași and financed by the City Hall of Iași, constitutes another concrete step in shaping the profile of outstanding artists, critics and pedagogues, who marked not only the local cultural history, but also the national and international ones. The connection to contemporary realities opens up new opportunities for presenting information. Thus, the Project will result in the creation of a “virtual museum” through which the stories of those, who were born or created in Iasi, and also served the theatrical art, will become accessible without time and space limits. The challenge comes from finding bridges that connect the information (scientifically substantiated - according to all the rigors of documentation) to the interest of the general public. The presentation of Margareta Niculescu’s contribution to the defining of the European animation theater in the second half of the 20th century is an example.
