Romanian to English: "Puck" Puppet Theatre Monography
Source text - Romanian Aniversarea la sfârşit de mileniu şi secol a 50 de ani de teatru dă prilejul reconstituirii în pagini puţine a existenţei Teatrului de Păpuşi “Puck”.
E greu să recreezi o atmosferă, atmosfera spectacolului, ori ceea ce rămâne din el după trecerea timpului. Timpul nu a aşternut numai uitarea, dar a şi distrus cu brutalitate o mare parte din mărturia celor care au lăsat aici o fărâmă din strălucirea lor creatoare.
Profit de acest moment aniversar ca să trezesc în conştiinţa celor răspunzători de soarta acestui teatru, dorinţa de a păstra mărturiile trecutului şi, de ce nu, de a realiza în timp un muzeu al Teatrului.
Acum 50 de ani s-au întâlnit o mână de entuziaşti inimoşi să dea naştere celei mai vechi forme de spectacol cunoscute în România, teatrul de păpuşi. Regizori, păpuşari, dramaturgi, scenografi, s-au întâlnit de-a lungul timpului într-un dialog viu întru crearea de frumos. Să ne amintim cu dragoste de toţi cei văzuţi şi nevăzuţi ai scenei, care prin talentul lor au făcut să vibreze ce e mai profund în noi.
Unii şi-au legat numele de Teatrul de Păpuşi din Cluj o stagiune, alţii o viaţă întreagă. Hazardul le-a păstrat amintirea imortalizată într-o poză, un afiş, caiet, un program sau uneori numai pe un stat de plată.
Sunt cu toţii menţionaţi în această primă istorie. Fie ca ea să fie un început pentru respectul pe care-l datorăm acestor artişti ce prin talent şi dăruire au trezit
gustul pentru frumos şi adevăr în sufletul şi mintea atâtor generaţii de spectatori mici şi mari.
Teatrul de Păpuşi din Cluj s-a ivit concomitent cu alte teatre profesioniste de păpuşi şi marionete în peisajul cultural al ţării, al căror act de naştere poartă ca dată anul 1949 sau 1950.
Presa vremii, acte din dosare îngălbenite şi mărturiile celor puţini rămaşi în viaţă au conservat frământările întemeierii instituţiei. Cotidianul Lupta Ardealului, Cluj, 18 martie 1948 menţionează iniţiativa unui proiect pentru înfiinţarea unui Teatru de Copii şi de Păpuşi, cu activitate continuă şi două secţii: română şi maghiară.
Translation - English The end of the millennium - and century - anniversary of 50 years of theatre gives us the opportunity to review in a small number of pages the “Puck” Puppet Theatre existence.
It is hard to recreate an atmosphere, the atmosphere of the show, or what remains of it after the passage of time. Time has not only let us forget; it has also diminished much of the testimony of those who have left a shadow of their creative brilliance here.
I take advantage of this anniversary to prompt those responsible for the fate of this theatre, the desire to preserve the testimonies of the past and, why not, to realize in time a museum of the theatre.
Fifty years ago, a handful of enthusiasts met to give birth to the oldest form of performance known in Romania, the puppet theatre. Directors, puppeteers, playwrights, scenographers, met over time in lively dialogue to create beauty. Let us remember with love all those seen and unseen of the stage, who through their talent have made what is deepest in us vibrate.
Some have linked their names to the Puppet Theatre in Cluj for a season, others for a lifetime. Chance has kept their memory which was immortalized in a photo, a poster, a notebook, a programme or sometimes only on a pay slip.
They are all mentioned in this first history. May it be a beginning for the respect we owe to these artists who through talent and dedication have awakened a taste for beauty and truth in the hearts and minds of so many generations of theatre goers young and old.
The Puppet Theatre of Cluj emerged at the same time as other professional puppet theatres in the cultural landscape of the country, and their birth certificates are dated 1949 or 1950.
The press of the time, documents from yellowed files, and the testimonies of the few survivors have preserved the excitement of the founding of the institution. The daily newspaper Lupta Ardealului, Cluj, 18 March 1948 mentions the initiative of a project for the establishment of a Children's and Puppet Theatre, with continuous activity and two sections: Romanian and Hungarian.
