«Biennial KAZE International Theatre Festival»
Since 2003, KAZE has been hosting the “Biennial KAZE International Theatre Festival.” To this day, KAZE continues to engage in multinational exchanges and co-productions with artists and theatre people from France, Romania, Poland, Germany, Moldova, and other (mostly European) countries.
KAZE's most significant activities include the performing of original works by exiled writer Matéi Visniec (born in Romania, residing in Paris)-“Jeanne et le feu” and “Nina ou De la fragilitè des mouettes empaillèes”-and the addition to its repertoire of a Brecht work, “Der Bettler oder der tote Hund,” an innovative production directed by Yoshinari Asano featuring French actor Olivier Comte and Ioana Craciunescu (a Romanian actress residing in Paris) that was performed on invitation at the Sibiu International Theatre Festival (one of the three major theatre festivals in the world).
Moreover, the group's collaboration with Republic of Moldova's Petru Vutcãrãu (Artistic Director and Director, Teatrul Eugene Ionesco) and the Ionesco Theatre proved to be extremely fruitful, as “Hamlet,” directed by Petru, has come to be called one of KAZE's most significant works. In addition, preparations are now under way to bring “Jeanne d'Arc Iona si focul”-which was first performed in August 2009-to the stage in 2011.
Furthermore, in summer 2009, the 4th Biennial KAZE International Theatre Festival was held under the banner, “Contradiction, Language, Resistance, and Hope,” and KAZE put on four works-including two new works-by Matéi Visniec.
