INSTANTANEE CULTURALE DIN ALTE VEACURI: ADUNAREA PENTRU FOND DE TEATRU ROMÂN (CARANSEBEȘ, 1889) (II)
CULTURAL SNAPSHOTS FROM OTHER CENTURIES: THE ASSEMBLY FOR THE ROMANIAN THEATER FUND (CARANSEBEȘ, 1889) (II)

Summary/Abstract: In the autumn of 1889, the Society for the Romanian Theater Fund, one of the most important cultural societies of the time, decided to organize the Annual General Assembly in Caransebeș.Our approach aims to present the development of the events of these days, as they were noted by the young Ioan Popovici, a student of the Theological Institute from Caransebeș.Contributing editor, since 1888, of the "Tribuna" magazine, Ioan Popovici not only attends the works of this event, but he will draw up a "special report" consistent, critical and even virulent, regarding this Assembly, a report that was to be published in the pages of the prestigious Sibiu magazine. There are three aspects on which the young student is particularly concerned: the unnecessary expenses caused by the organization of balls and banquets that accompany the work of this assembly; the echoes produced by the conference held by Prof. Vasile Goldiș, but also the questionable quality of the play staged during these events.
