FASHION #84 Last Monday was World Theatre Day. 🎭

Last Monday was World Theatre Day. The International Theatre Institute organizes programs since 1961 to celebrate art. I celebrated my own way: I tweeted a picture from 45 European cities. Capitals mostly. European theatres have long history. But you can backpack and enjoy culture in 45 days. I already did half of the work for you.

One of them struggles: The National Theatre's roof of Nicosia, Cyprus is collapsed. @cyprusmail tweeted about the tragedy on March 26. They already spent €8.7 million for renovation. In 2013, the state theatre company (Thoc) opened its new 500-seat theatre on the grounds of the old GSP stadium and located very close to the municipal theatre. - Cyprusmail writes. 

Which 45 theatres I visited virtually? I started with Amsterdam my loved city. Its one of the biggest and oldest stages; Schouwburg Amsterdam @ssba. It is host to Toneelgroep Amsterdam and many congresses. It is located in the city center and you can go there by tram 5. My next theatre was in Andorra la Vella, Andorra @VallsAjuntament. It is more like Culinaire Festival as Andorra is very small. Leave a comment if you a theatre-lover from Andorra. The next was Ankara, Turkey @KSalcioglu. Kalust is actor and writer and there were more politics going on on Twitter then culture. Said. The next was Athens, Greece @WhyAthens. They celebrated Independence Day on March 25. Old and new theatres. Everyone. The next was Belgrade, Serbia @JDPBgd Just posted: Hauard Zin MARKS U SOHOU, r. Vlatko Ilić (nezavisna produkcija), Scena Studio JDP, 20.30, foto: A. Milosavljević. 

The next was Berlin, Germany @ET_Berlin English Theatre Berlin = International Performing Arts Center has functioned as both a producing and presenting organization since its founding. In selecting artists and performances to bring to Berlin, we place a special focus on the use of English as a working language and in making a strong contribution to the ongoing debate of contemporary practice in international performance. Coming Soon: Am I Dead Yet? (May 17-20th) The next was Bern, Switzerland @KonzertTheaterB It is also home of the Symphony Orchest.

The next was Brussels, Belgium @KVSbrussels Malcolm X, a KVS creation by the trio of Junior Mthombeni, Fikry El Azzouzi and Cesar Janssens, was received with great enthusiasm by both public and press last autumn, and has now been nominated for the Mixity Awards! The next was Bucharest, Romania @OdeonTheatreRo On 28 November Odeon Theatre celebrated 70 years of activity. It is the only theatre in Bucharest with subtitles in English. Unfortunally I don't know what they play. Their Twitter is not updated and their website is under construction in English. They play Soldatul de ciocolată and Tipgrafic Majuscul tonight (March 29). The next was Budapest, Hungary @szinhaz This is a platform for all performing art institutes and festivals. Like the Spring Festival (Tavaszi Fesztivál) soon. There are so many good theatres in Budapest that it is hard to highlight one. Madács, József Attila, Katona, Víg, Duma, Magyar, Nemzeti and I can list it endless. Visit the Lovas Színház (director: Tibor Pintér) if you want to see a horse show with singing actors. You won't be disappointed. Ideal for families and kids. The next was Chisinau, Moldova @AIDAS78000 This Twitter account should be from Chisinau but it is in French.

After all I tried to find a small Dutch theatre on Monday March 27th. ZID Theatre was closed, Podium Mozaiek has his next play on Saturday April 22nd. About Rajae who leaves her home at age of 15 to become an artist. Her journey is about confidence, feelings, and coming home everywhere where music is played.

No show - I called a friend to watch a movie. It was 2046 in China. Not utopia because it plays in the 60's. A Chinese journalist and science fiction writer is looking for his old love in every woman. Watch the movie to figure it out, he found love or not.
