DRAMATIC CREATION COMPETITION DEDICATED TO THE SHORT PIECE | 2017 edition
"Dramatic Creation Contest for Short Play" aims to encourage original Romanian dramaturgy, especially short theater, as part of the prestigious Oradea Short Theater Festival, which since 2013 has been part of the Oradea International Theater Festival.
The organizers do not suggest a specific theme, leaving freedom of choice to the creators, the criteria for judging the pieces being aesthetic. The only imposed element is the formal one, required by the rigors of the short theater. In the opinion of the organizers, the short piece has a maximum of 25 pages (approximately 50,000 characters without spaces), and its editing must not exceed 90 minutes, without a break.
This year, 13 texts were entered in the competition, which were read and analyzed by the jury made up of theater critics Elizabeth Pop, Claudio Groza and editor-in-chief of Familia magazine Ioan Moldovan. Following the evaluation of the texts, starting from premises related to the dramatic technique and the artistic value, three of them were nominated, namely:
- SUB – SOUL, by Crista Bilciu
- SUPER OK, by Mircea Moroianu
- UNDER CONSTRUCTION, by Marco Tesei
The piece declared the winner, in full agreement of the jury members, was "Sub-soul", written by mrs Crista Bilciu.
