School Performances in Transylvania in the Interwar Period

Summary/Abstract: School performances were frequent, teachers supported and encouraged pupils to act and stage plays, as they considered it part of the education, as it has been for centuries in schools of Transylvania. Yet the new historical circumstances strengthened this orientation. Theatre was considered the means and main possibility for preserving language and culture among the Hungarians of Transylvania, who after the I. World War found themselves in totally changed circumstances, within the borders of another country, Romania. The new circumstances forced them to adopt new strategies for survival. In order to find out more about school stages in Transylvania among the Hungarian minority, I analyzed a Catholic youth magazine edited in Cluj, called Jóbarát (Best Friend). In this monthly magazine read by pupils all over Transylvania, I found several plays and scenes, articles about books containing plays, reports on different school performances and even a theoretical approach of the theme. Analyzing all these contribute to a better overview on how school stages worked after the I. World War in Transylvania.
