Man Hallows the Ground

Summary/Abstract: The Saint of St. George is the fourth show of an ambitious theatrical project addressed to the Romanian country towns. The project is started by Romanian director Ana Mărgineanu in collaboration with playwright Ștefan Peca and it is called Romania, Only Good Parts. Without possessing any outstanding depth, the text on which the show from Sfântu Gheorghe is based, has enough wit to extract from the stream of possibilities a universally human situation, both defined and exponential. Lasting for quite a while, the entire representation is built upon an unexpected interactivity. The shows premise is simple, the actors are on the stage, sitting on chairs, props in plain sight and the deployment modular, each scene takes place in a space bordered by chairs which both the actors and the audience are observing passively. Rhythm-wise the tempo of the first part is quite sluggish, however, the second part, being more dramatically tense, recovers ground and conveys a satisfying temporal perception.
