I Am the Wind Guest Performed at BukFeszt

The Hungarian Theatre of Cluj’s production of I Am the Wind will be performed on Tuesday, October 6, at 8:00 pm in Bucharest as part of the 5th BukFeszt, a festival showcasing Hungarian theaters in Romania, in the “Sala Pictură” venue of the I. L. Caragiale National Theater in Bucharest. Based on a play by Nobel Prize-winning author Jon Fosse and directed by Gábor Tompa, the production is scheduled for the festival’s closing day.

Following the guest performance in Bucharest, Cluj audiences will next be able to see the play on Sunday, October 25, at 7 pm in the theater’s Studio Hall, and on Thursday, November 19, at 8 pm as part of the 10th Interferences International Theatre Festival.

The fifth edition of BukFeszt, taking place between September 28 and October 6, will feature 13 performances from the repertoires of Hungarian theaters in Romania on the stages of the I. L. Caragiale National Theater, the Odeon Theater, and the Bulandra Theater in Bucharest. Organized by MASZÍN—the Association of Hungarian Theaters in Romania — and the Romanian Theatre Association (UNITER) — the festival aims to raise the profile of Hungarian language theater in Romania among the capital’s audience and the theater community, as well as to strengthen intercultural dialogue. Following its affiliation with MASZÍN, the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj is participating in BukFeszt for the first time this year.

The production was nominated in several categories at the 2026 Gala organized by the Romanian Theatre Association (UNITER): Gyopár Bocskai for Best Set and Costume Design, Csaba Boros for Best Original Music, and Romeo Groza for Best Lighting Design.

The two leading roles in the production are played by Zsolt Gedő and Loránd Farkas, while the members of the chorus of women are portrated by: Andrea Kali, Emőke Kató, Gizella Kicsid, Júlia Laczó, Anikó Pethő, and Csilla Varga.

The following creatives also contributed to the creation of the production: Gyopár Bocskai, set and costume designer; Enikő Györgyjakab, choreographer; Csaba Boros, composer; Romeo Groza, lighting designer; and Zsolt András, répétiteur. The production was created using Zsófia Domsa’s Hungarian translation.
