At this year’s UNITER gala, the lighting designer of the Tamási Áron Theatre’s production of The Tempest, directed by Viktor Bodó, Sándor Baumgartner was awarded the most prestigious prize of the Romanian theatre profession in the light design category. Congratulations to him and we hope to work together again!
At the same time, we congratulate all the UNITER award winners, especially those colleagues with whom we have a closer professional and human relationship: István Albu, for the Best Director Award (Richard III), the Harag György Company of the Northern Theatre of Satu Mare for the Best Performance Award (Richard III), and the Special Award of the D-Butan-T Festival, organised by the Andrei Mureşanu Theatre in Sfântu Gheorghe, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
