To celebrate Silviu Purc\u0103rete\u2019s 50 years of work for the theatre, in 2024, the Vis-a-Vis Cultural Association initiated a grand scale project dedicated to the theatre maker: “Silviu Purc\u0103rete \u2013 50 Years of Theatre\u201c, a photography exhibition, curated by Adriana Moca, and a showcase website dedicated to the director.  Both events were made possible through the support of the Administration of the National Cultural Fund \u2013 AFCN. We invite you hereby to discover or revisit a protean personality and the performances imagined by the \u201epoet theatremaker”, as George Banu called him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Purc\u0103rete directs without taking refuge in anonymity, but neither does he narcissistically, conspicuously impose himself. Resistant to excess, he instils his melancholy as a sceptical artist who finds a palliative in the communicative delight of theatre, somewhere beyond existence. A kind of theatre in which I recognize the peaceful and melancholic spirit of a great essayist of our times, of my youth, Roland Barthes. Just like Barthes, Purc\u0103rete cultivates a very nuanced look over the real, as he, too, repudiates intensely emphasized contrasts. If one wrote Le plaisir du texte<\/strong>, the other signs a similar profession of faith throughout his career, which could be defined as The Delight of Theatre<\/strong>. Purc\u0103rete’s theatre disorganizes genres and adopts the malleability of an oneiric wanderer about  the nightmares or errancies of our times. These are the origins of his uniqueness.<\/p>\nGeorge Banu<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Silviu Purc\u0103rete envisions aesthetic spaces and impish emotional geographies, sprinkling fine humour even on the most cruel and tragic texts. He is a creator of hypnotic \u2013 though not unreal \u2013 realms. In his performances, he creates impressive galleries of paintings, juxtapositions of shadows and lights. A master of the chiaroscuro and a painter of the destinies from the classical texts he (re)visits with passion and curiosity, Purc\u0103rete appears to be a collector of beauty. This showcase website, as well as the travelling photographic exhibition and other events related to this long and generative life in theatre are, beyond a simple back-up for the imagery of the theatre and opera performances from these 50 years, an opportunity to rediscover the joy of theatre and the spirited generosity of the director Silviu Purc\u0103rete. It is a reverence and an expression of gratitude for such a personality, distinguished with countless important awards. A mandatory admiration practice.<\/p>\nAdriana Moca<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
