It is intended for both children and adults. Short description: Jánoska, the son of a poor widow, goes into the forest to collect wild apples, carrying only a crust of bread, the last food left at home. He shares his meal with a beggar and is rewarded with a golden apple tree. The story follows Jánoska as he learns how to deal with his sudden good fortune. In keeping with the tradition of folk tales, his journey eventually leads him to the emperor’s court, where he asks for the hand of the emperor’s daughter. https://galorsolyaymail.com/Homes Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:06:34 +0000 galorsolya https://galorsolyaymail.com/Homes HOMES &nbsp; &nbsp; 2025 &nbsp; <img width="4030" height="2489" width_o="4030" height_o="2489" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a2170ba38a45573d2091cb12032e0d17db7cdc0d1e5e324cf8e051167697d4e0/IMG_2047.jpeg" data-mid="243870725" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a2170ba38a45573d2091cb12032e0d17db7cdc0d1e5e324cf8e051167697d4e0/IMG_2047.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/379998bceb35bef6b11135db3e0aeb49453cd2f4606f783583f205097384e80f/IMG_1984.jpeg" data-mid="243870724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/379998bceb35bef6b11135db3e0aeb49453cd2f4606f783583f205097384e80f/IMG_1984.jpeg" /> <img width="3476" height="1469" width_o="3476" height_o="1469" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b3f4149933c2d42397ef2a008a5244ed164fe348f242e7f03f55bdb4f5dd59c/Untitled-1.jpg" data-mid="243870726" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b3f4149933c2d42397ef2a008a5244ed164fe348f242e7f03f55bdb4f5dd59c/Untitled-1.jpg" /> The work proposed for DOM.ESTIC explores the question of what guides people when choosing a home or collaborating with an architect in the design process. What motivates certain decisions over others? And what does “living” symbolize in today’s society? The installation brings together the desires, dreams, and cultural models that shape our choices, placing them alongside a symbolic structure of homes: a fragile grid made of paper, composed of identically sized squares. Like birdhouses, each unit has an opening of a different diameter, depending on the species it is meant to shelter. Beyond the messages conveyed through position, materials, architectural language, and degrees of openness or enclosure, the central question remains: what do homes actually conceal? If we imagine them as tightly sealed bottles cast into the sea, each containing a message, a dream, or a longing, what would we find inside? The two perpendicular planes of the installation represent parallel projections of the same reality: on one hand, the physical space that frames and contains life within its walls; on the other, the imagined life—the dream or ideal image of living—that, in turn, shapes and defines that physical space. The work was part of the exhibition DOM.ESTIC organised by BATRA 2025 in Cluj - Napoca https://galorsolyaymail.com/Five-stories Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:04:52 +0000 galorsolya https://galorsolyaymail.com/Five-stories FIVE STORIES TO LISTEN TO IN THE COOL OF THE AFTERNOON&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2024 &nbsp; <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6b4f984318ded664c4f9db6e67b1590969555094fe99c17f1c7e61c3bb3b84a/2511_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5455--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073053" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6b4f984318ded664c4f9db6e67b1590969555094fe99c17f1c7e61c3bb3b84a/2511_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5455--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5675a66a60ff168b39926553e72853160ef7a91d65d30028a30214fc9b6a088/2532_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5517--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073054" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b5675a66a60ff168b39926553e72853160ef7a91d65d30028a30214fc9b6a088/2532_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5517--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="1362" height="2048" width_o="1362" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/22f4bbd8fe275ec0a88c741042dd76d6d71e2eda6d330717f2a21bb24018738f/2504_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5437--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073052" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/22f4bbd8fe275ec0a88c741042dd76d6d71e2eda6d330717f2a21bb24018738f/2504_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5437--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e8934a25997a45e57b334917332a2c7323214d723baf8c1b627c015be1a1f80/2553_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5570--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073057" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6e8934a25997a45e57b334917332a2c7323214d723baf8c1b627c015be1a1f80/2553_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5570--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/014ea1b3a622efc72cd5e7d2924a60be6a51892b74e042ddc1de871602b3454a/2548_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5558--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073056" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/014ea1b3a622efc72cd5e7d2924a60be6a51892b74e042ddc1de871602b3454a/2548_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5558--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="1362" height="2048" width_o="1362" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c519c73075c9bf346522d96688b4f6a39b339aa5257506f06759344b35558345/2540_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5536--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c519c73075c9bf346522d96688b4f6a39b339aa5257506f06759344b35558345/2540_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5536--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72dd42b38cc722adff9f3c25d9b2edfc7044f7d605ea47b5cbc18d2e1399325e/2579_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5661--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073058" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72dd42b38cc722adff9f3c25d9b2edfc7044f7d605ea47b5cbc18d2e1399325e/2579_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5661--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1362" width_o="2048" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05809f62b06b4bc843f57f6e4778f81e72c2a29d02b514c74c812596c29f01f6/2622_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5781--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073060" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05809f62b06b4bc843f57f6e4778f81e72c2a29d02b514c74c812596c29f01f6/2622_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5781--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> <img width="1362" height="2048" width_o="1362" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5efcf9544eea738cceb4a612720c4df0228f07fa0d76607654a9a4561050c509/2593_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5696--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" data-mid="240073059" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5efcf9544eea738cceb4a612720c4df0228f07fa0d76607654a9a4561050c509/2593_PUCK_FESTIVAL_2025.06.05---NCF_5696--Nicu-Cherciu.jpg" /> The show is inspired by scenes from paintings depicting moments from Greek mythology or hagiography. It takes successive or simultaneous events that appear in the painting on the same canvas or different paintings, &nbsp;and transposes them into a narrative structure of 5 stories, animated by two-dimensional figures in an abstract scenographic box. The starting point is also in old texts or their interpretations. In an attempt to continue the tradition of storytelling, stories about love, power, fate or initiation are rejected, stories from the past, which can however be considered current at any time.&nbsp; The performance unfolds through five emblematic stories drawn from different cultural and spiritual traditions, each reflecting on ethics and human destiny. It begins with the tale of Philemon and Baucis from Ovid, portraying the elderly couple as timeless symbols of hospitality and generosity. The scene then shifts to the legend of Saint Ursula and her maidens, evoking devotion, faith, and the ideal of purity. At the heart of the show, a wordless visual sequence—The Flood —interweaves elements from various flood mythologies, distilling their shared imagery and universal message into a powerful theatrical climax. This is followed by the dramatic story of Mariamne, the Jewish princess and wife of Herod I, a narrative of love, jealousy, and crime. The performance concludes with the legend of Saint Christopher, a reflection on faith and human kindness.

LOC was a project done together with Mihai Păcurar, Ioana Hogman, Marius Mornea, for which the proposal of the Labirynth was one of the AR installations that can be seen in Parcul Central of Cluj . The idea of the labyrinth was born during discussions with biologists who were part of the LOC team, when the need to introduce an “island” where the rules are different from those in the park (overexploited by the local administration for festivals and events), was confirmed by the specialists. The labyrinth is composed of alleys delimited by lined, two-dimensional trees, with a small distance between them. The two-dimensionality of the elements in the labyrinth emphasizes the idea of “artificiality”, of a space with “other rules”, out of the ordinary. The rules are simple: the path must be followed in such a way as to follow the alleys, and if the visitor tries a different direction than the predefined one, the image darkens, and he must return to the route. Inside the labyrinth we find two objects called “megaliths”, positioned in such a way that the drawing on the surface of the stones can be partially observed. The drawings represent two images similar to the tree of life: the current situation, a tree with information received from biologists, and a possible scenario in the future, if we follow some simple rules, similar to following the alleys in the labyrinth, which would help increase biodiversity in the Park. In return, respecting the rules requires respect for nature and modesty on the part of all of us.

Intersecția, represent different stories and points of view, all related to the waters of Brădet. Even if from the point of view of time we slide into the distant past or are in the present with thoughts of the future, the stories still meet in the same geographical space, the village of Brădet and the Buzău Twist. Thus, the transparent, overlapping images create a map together, recounting different moments in the village's history. Putting aside the linearity of time, each of these images contributes to the complexity of the final map, and just as due to transparency they are all present/visible at the same time, so too does interconnectivity - the effect of any specific moment represented on the other moments. Awareness of the possible effects raises questions about our present in terms of our relationship with water and springs Project materialized with the support EUNIC Romania and Fundația9 https://galorsolyaymail.com/Searching-for-a-secret-garden Wed, 17 Sep 2025 13:16:32 +0000 galorsolya https://galorsolyaymail.com/Searching-for-a-secret-garden &nbsp;SEARCHING FOR A SECRET GARDEN&nbsp;

project “Searching for a secret garden” is an allusion to Bosch’s Garden of earthly delights’ left panel, in which&nbsp; we look for households with vegetable gardens of small producers, who manage to produce enough food on a relatively small territory for 1-2 families in Transilvania. Gardens that are valuable from the point of view of diversity, complex gardening and beauty, and bring to focus an old sustainable model of cohabitation between man and natural habitat that can be adapted to our contemporary needs.

Instead of botanical observations, the author wishes to present plants as characters with humanlike intentions and will in their movement captured on the photographs. By this metaphorical approach, theatrical setup, we wish to invite the public to rediscover the kingdom of plants, it’s beauty and richness, and fight plant blindness. &nbsp;“An invested and knowledgeable public is one equipped to drive environmental policy reform. A plant aware public will only be achieved through education at all levels”( The botanical education extinction and the fall of plant awareness in Ecology and Evolution, by Sebastian Stroud).

Based on the project “Photos of a secret garden”, using the same technique of the paper filter, the intention with this new approach was to create a story with plants in motion, in a city which has known an incredibly fast real estate development in the last 10 years, witnessing a moment of crisis in the present, while trying to rediscuss and reevaluate new and old value systems, our relation with the natural and man-made world. Taking advantage of her experience in puppetry the author decided to work with plants in the way she does it with puppets. The puppet operates “in the collapsed boundaries between the living and the inanimate”, so “Études from an inner garden” invites the viewer to suspend these boundaries and reestablish a relation based on empathy and sympathy towards the material and natural world - in this case the world of plants. It could be a first step on the way to a less divided world where erasing the dichotomies between animate and inanimate could lead to a more responsible attitude regarding human actions. The project includes the observation and manipulation of plants, with the desire of creating a multidisciplinary work, involving fine arts and narrative in movement. “Etudes from an inner garden” participated at the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival in September 2020, at the Fuori Formato Festival Internazionale di Danza at Torino in 2021 September, at the group exhibition "Rerouting" in the gallery Contemporary Calgary&nbsp; and Oodaaq Festival&nbsp; in Rennes, France in 2022.

And what is our relation with the unknown? Composed of a simple mechanical system and two wire sculptures, put in motion by the visitor himself, the installation is looking for possible answers, focusing in movement around us. The installations was built with the support of Cluj Cultural Center in 2021, and exhibited&nbsp; at the group exhibition called WUD ( Work upside down) - The future of work, at Cluj Napoca, Romania Video: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/730720472 https://galorsolyaymail.com/Mario-and-the-magician Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:40:09 +0000 galorsolya https://galorsolyaymail.com/Mario-and-the-magician MARIO AND THE MAGICIAN - AFTER THOMAS MANN 05-09&nbsp; 2021 <img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f1cba3f8c794e7565c87fd5e9040ae1812f88de6f485375f3545e29500295ba7/IMG_2551.JPG" data-mid="152507889" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f1cba3f8c794e7565c87fd5e9040ae1812f88de6f485375f3545e29500295ba7/IMG_2551.JPG" /> <img width="1600" height="1360" width_o="1600" height_o="1360" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b478529403bcc7b22586ebff3c3af1255fc662f11f6ba7c8ab8b4a8d7ae0e552/4e8ed732-0ede-4d3a-bf52-8680700cdd08.jpg" data-mid="152507830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b478529403bcc7b22586ebff3c3af1255fc662f11f6ba7c8ab8b4a8d7ae0e552/4e8ed732-0ede-4d3a-bf52-8680700cdd08.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1338" width_o="1600" height_o="1338" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b520e421f14bc4541992419e183d7de1533c283cef0665e6670479bc7e927ba/53a17142-d087-4a33-8d18-f10f8285b054.jpg" data-mid="152507886" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b520e421f14bc4541992419e183d7de1533c283cef0665e6670479bc7e927ba/53a17142-d087-4a33-8d18-f10f8285b054.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1707" width_o="2560" height_o="1707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20b3879efa508eec00d0cdfaaca4f100db9b1d7210dd5fb8ef2bf5b7d6e2c54c/_SUP6682.jpg" data-mid="246231547" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/20b3879efa508eec00d0cdfaaca4f100db9b1d7210dd5fb8ef2bf5b7d6e2c54c/_SUP6682.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1380" width_o="1600" height_o="1380" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f966edcd23c94ab936b198c21d1d487197c4d7958959028fe95282b95a984f1/c2af79bc-68a3-40a7-a1fb-56eda6eafe35.jpg" data-mid="152507888" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f966edcd23c94ab936b198c21d1d487197c4d7958959028fe95282b95a984f1/c2af79bc-68a3-40a7-a1fb-56eda6eafe35.jpg" /> <img width="1292" height="1600" width_o="1292" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/294d89da62d4a2e1866872f1bf095489e6dc02d33cee0814f1f413dfa23ee517/1e838657-9c83-4bd0-8eef-dff4f9c86fba.jpg" data-mid="152507734" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/294d89da62d4a2e1866872f1bf095489e6dc02d33cee0814f1f413dfa23ee517/1e838657-9c83-4bd0-8eef-dff4f9c86fba.jpg" /> <img width="5802" height="3868" width_o="5802" height_o="3868" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d6bade4d2fadb2bcbb36f553c25a16db387e52079e55b06126104985fb133ad/20200829-LN-256.jpg" data-mid="152507773" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6d6bade4d2fadb2bcbb36f553c25a16db387e52079e55b06126104985fb133ad/20200829-LN-256.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88eadf1dcc5f61b418b8f1984db4a9b4cfe660815eea9ae6f7e9261907fb5ac1/WonderZiua1_Eseu_RaulStef_1-1.JPG" data-mid="152507942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88eadf1dcc5f61b418b8f1984db4a9b4cfe660815eea9ae6f7e9261907fb5ac1/WonderZiua1_Eseu_RaulStef_1-1.JPG" /> <img width="2560" height="1707" width_o="2560" height_o="1707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b39420d1190135aa07c7ee6f1025d0282a4b4cd14c3c0412b5ff8d64db554ff/_SUP6681.jpg" data-mid="246231546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b39420d1190135aa07c7ee6f1025d0282a4b4cd14c3c0412b5ff8d64db554ff/_SUP6681.jpg" /> “Mario and the Magician” is a multidisciplinary performance at the intersection of shadow theatre and visual performance. It premiered in 2019 at the Festival Incanti in Turin. An initial concept and sketch were presented there in 2018, after which the project was selected for further development under the mentorship of Alberto Jona, artistic director of the festival and member of the company Teatro Controluce. Over three years, sounds were recorded in five countries, forming a collection of field recordings that shape the show’s soundtrack. These sounds evoke atmosphere without the use of words. Together, image and sound convey a complex narrative centered on questions posed by Thomas Mann: Do we truly have free will? Are we acting according to our own convictions? Is the one who challenges our beliefs guilty? What is human sin, and who defines the sinner? And what can we do with these questions in the 21st century?&nbsp;For this work, the answer begins with awareness. The work was developed throughout 2019, with excerpts shown in Turin, Parma, and Pinerolo at object theatre festivals. Its official premiere took place in October 2019 at Festival Incanti, where it received a special prize for image and sound. The premiere of the show was in October in 2019 at the Festival Incanti, where it received a special prize for&nbsp; image and sound design.
