back

underground is an experimental semi-independent theatre program, founded in 1999, by The DRAMAFEST Foundation and The ARIEL Children and Youth Theatre of Târgu-Mureş, with the support of the Foundation for the Development of Civil Society – Bucharest. Located in the ancient cellar of the Ariel Theatre of Târgu-Mureş, underground  addresses to a special audience, formed of artists, young intelligentsia and students, people interested and appreciative of  new theatre. The program includes presentations of new plays and visual experiments.

The underground performances have become a trademark in Romania. In november 2001, the theatre participated, with four performances of this program, in the National Theatre Festival „I.L.Caragiale”, the independent section. Also, in partnership with The ACT Theatre and The MONDAY Theatre of Bucharest, underground organized a theatrical event called undergreenact, a unique albeit small festival of independent and experimental productions. In 2002, The Ariel Theatre was also invited to the National Theatre Festival, with The Vagina Monologues, another very successful and famous production of the theatre.
