Tonight at 8 PM, the acclaimed British drama O Intervenție relocates to Teatrul de Păpuși Prichindel in Alba Iulia as part of the Festivalul Internațional de Teatru “Poveşti”. Organizers posted on Instagram:
“În seara aceasta, de la ora 20.00, mutăm scena la Alba Iulia, la prietenii noștri de la Teatrul de Păpuși Prichindel, în cadrul Festivalul Internațional de Teatru “Poveşti”, Alba Iulia.”
Snapshots From Arad Debut
Ahead of tonight’s show, the production shared a series of images from its opening night at Teatrul Clasic „Ioan Slavici” during the Festivalul Internațional de Teatru Nou (FITN) in Arad. In these vivid snapshots, Ana Ularu and Lucian Iftime navigate the stage with precision, as designer Cezarina Iulia Popescu’s minimalist set and Bogdan Gheorghiu’s strategic lighting underscore every dramatic beat.
About The Production
O Intervenție, written by Mike Bartlett, is directed by Radu Iacoban. The one-act play unfolds almost in real time: a social worker arrives at a family home to rein in a troubled teenager, only to be drawn into a moral maze. Reviews from Arad praised its tense pacing and emotional complexity, calling it “a razor-sharp look at empathy and authority.”

• Ana Ularu – celebrated Romanian actress in the lead role of social worker
• Lucian Iftime – as the anxious parent caught in the middle
• Scenography – Cezarina Iulia Popescu
• Lighting Design – Bogdan Gheorghiu

Ana Ularu: From Bucharest To International Stage
Born on December 25, 1985, in Bucharest, Ana Ularu trained at the Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film.

International viewers may recognize her from streaming series, while Romanian audiences applaud her for powerful theater appearances. Tonight’s staging marks her first collaboration with Prichindel Puppet Theatre.
Lucian Iftime, a veteran of Romania’s national theaters, brings a quiet intensity to his role as the father figure. His previous collaborations with director Radu Iacoban earned him praise for nuanced character work.
