Since 2008, the Euroregional Theatre Festival Timișoara, organised by the Hungarian State Theatre ‘Csiky Gergely’, a minority theatre in a multilingual city, has been one of the most important theatrical dialogue spaces in the euroregion. This year, it triggers the question: how can we exist and coexist in an age of division marked by war and post-war realities, migration, rising populism and right wing extremism, digital polarisation and climate crisis?
The "Csiky Gergely" Hungarian State Theatre in Timișoara concluded its 71st theatrical year on July 3, 2025, marking a season full of success, challenges and transformations. The theatre team brought 7 new shows to the stage, launched projects, and showed openness to innovation and inclusion.
The "Csiky Gergely" Hungarian State Theatre in Timișoara, in partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute, announces the international presentation of the show "1978", directed by Tomi Janežič, within the Cultural Program Nova Gorica/Gorizia 2025 - GO!25, European Capital of Culture. The project is supported by the Cantemir Program - a non-reimbursable funding program for cultural projects abroad, managed by the Romanian Cultural Institute.
Can theatre hear the SOS call that our times are sending out, in a world of impoverished citizens, locked in cells of virtual reality, entrenched in their suffocating privacy? In a world of robotized existences within a totalitarian system of control and repression across the spectrum of life?
At the beginning of February, after the last performance of the showcase, the two theaters in the city that share the same building completed yet another of their common projects. The showcase took place over five days, when the audience saw seven outstanding performances by the two theaters, the series of events being considered a success at the end.
The "Csiky Gergely" Hungarian State Theatre has reached the final performance of the show "Caravaggio", which concludes a stage trilogy held in parallel with the prestigious exhibition hosted by the National Museum of Art in Timișoara, "The Lights of Caravaggio". This series of performances offered the audience a unique insight into the life and work of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, highlighting the genius and tumult of an existence marked by passion and contradictions and alternating from a delicious comic to the somber image of the unhappy destiny of a misunderstood artist.

We celebrate the birth of light, meaning the coming into the world of Jesus, during the winter solstice. This ritual is as old as time; in the olden days of our grandparents, people went from house to house with the Nativity Play: beautifully painted little churches were carried in arms, verses were recited, and songs praising love and peace were sung.
