Prime Minister Vasile Tofan attended the opening of the Meeting of Romanian National Theatres, which is bringing actors, directors, and theatre companies from the Republic of Moldova, Romania and Ukraine to Chisinau these days. Public will be able to attend 24 performances on the stages of 12 theatres in the capital by 20 September.

The Prime Minister spoke about the role of theatre in society and the power of culture to create connections between people and bring important issues into discussion. At the same time, Vasile Tofan emphasized that the development of the cultural sector can generate not only artistic and social value, but also economic opportunities for the country.

He urged the public to go to the theatre and support the people who contribute to the development of cultural life. Referring to the participation of theatre companies from Ukraine, the Prime Minister highlighted the strength with which artists continue to perform even in wartime conditions: “As long as people go to the theatre, I have confidence that good will overcome evil, and culture will overcome barbarity.”

The Meeting of Romanian National Theatres has a history of 11 years, with the first edition organized in September 2015. This year’s edition will culminate on 20 September with the performance “Caligula,” presented by the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theatre of Kyiv. The performance schedule can be viewed here.
