A Journey to the Land Beyond the Forest

Welcome to my journey to Transylvania and the 7th International Workshops of the Drama Schools of the ITI-UNESCO Chair of Theatre and Culture of Civilizations in Sinaia, Romania. While there I will be attending several conferences, directing performances of Ibsen's Ghosts and Euripides Medea, and presenting a paper entitled "Unlocking the Mysterious Disease of Ibsen's Ghosts to "Generation Y""

URSUS !













The first week of our trip was spent on the road, on the bus, and seeing so much of Romania we needed a break. The day we left Bucovina the Vila Andreea packed us lovely lunches. After many hours of riding towards Bran’s Castle we took a breather at a roadside café or in American-speak A ROADHOUSE. The roads are tough and so are the refreshments. The label in English means Bear Beer. After a few the dancing began. Here is a photo of the American delegation teaching our friends the Chinese delegation the Macarena. A good time was had by all. Even the Romanian grandmother came out for a look and gave us a big smile. Here is an example of roadside iron art, and these are some of the road hazards.
