Zidul (The Wall)
by Teodora Herghelegiu
From Ploieşti, Rumania / Teatrul Toma Caragiu
Rumanian with German supertitles / German by Victor Scoradet
“G: It's worst when you've got to the stage that
you hate the things you used to love – 15 – 0!
H: No. It's worst when you have become indifferent to them.”
Zidul (The Wall) is a triptych including absurd everyday dialogue, a failed protest action by a theatre ensemble, and the process of getting in tune to sing a Rumanian folk song. In her play, Teodora Herghelegiu describes Rumanian society as deeply divided – a place where the scars from the dictatorship are still open and indifference suffocates social ideas. At the same time, the play explores the situation of contemporary Rumanian theatre.
