The tour is organised by the theatre itself, the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova and the Embassy of Romania in the Hellenic Republic, with the support of the Moldovan Ministry of Culture.
The tour programme will open on 12 October at the Piraeus Municipal Theatre with a performance of *The Glass Menagerie*, directed by the theatre’s artistic director, Petru Hadyrka. The production is based on the novel of the same name by Tatiana Tsybulak, translated into Greek by Angela Bratu. It is a story about an orphan’s journey to adulthood, the healing of emotional wounds and the power of love.
The following day, 13 October, the Ziller Hall at the National Theatre of Athens will host the programme ‘We Are What We Love…’. This literary and musical evening will serve as a creative encounter with artists from the Chisinau theatre.
The final leg of the tour will be a visit to Thessaloniki, where, on 17 and 18 October, the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre will take part for the first time in the 61st ‘Dimitria’ International Festival. On the festival stage, the company will present William Shakespeare’s tragedy *Richard III*, directed by Petru Hadyrcă, with Anatol Durbală in the title role. The production explores the nature of power, the mechanisms of social manipulation, and the price society pays for the loss of freedom.
According to the organisers, this tour represents a return to the ancient roots of European theatre, as well as support for the Moldovan and Romanian diasporas in Greece: “Theatre is not just a performance. It is memory, dialogue, freedom and the opportunity to recognise oneself in the stories of others.”
