Aplauze pentru poet… pe scenă

Emilia Popescu and Demeter András present A Hand for the Poet… On Stage, celebrating National Culture Day at Teatrelli, on January 12, 2026.

A Hand for the Poet… On Stage is a performance dedicated to Romania’s National Culture Day, conceived in an original artistic format in which Romanian poetry is vividly brought to life on stage.

On January 12, actors Emilia Popescu and Demeter András perform memorable texts by classical and modern Romanian poets from Mihai Eminescu and Tudor Arghezi, to Marin Sorescu and Nichita Stănescu. The performance is accompanied by a unique musical atmosphere created by pianist Cătălin Răducanu and enriched with video projections of Romanian poetry translated into English, interpreted by actors Anamaria Marinca, Michael Pennington, and, through an archival appearance, Ion Caramitru.

Initiated in 2021, A Hand for the Poet / Aplauze pentru poet is a one of a kind project that brings Romanian poetry to audiences both in Romania and in the diaspora, blending spoken word performance, music, and striking video projections into an emotional dialogue with the audience.
