The Play as an Encounter: A Conversation with Director Eugen Jebeleanu on Directorial Choices, Theatrical Aesthetics, and Adapting the Classics
Eugen Jebeleanu made his acting debut in several plays written by Radu Afrim; in Paris, together with writer and director Yan Verburgh, he founded “Compania 28,” creating Franco-Romanian productions that have gained international recognition. He performs both on independent stages in experimental venues and on the official stages of the national theaters in Bucharest, Sibiu, and Timișoara. In 2020, he won the UNITER Award in the “Best Director” category for the international co-production Itinerarii. One Day the World Will Change (ARCUB and Compagnie des Ogres from France).
The meeting will be moderated by Mihaela Adina Drăgan (second-year master’s student in theSociety, multimedia, entertainment) and Alina Gabriela Mihalache (Assistant Professor, Ph.D.).
