Thespis Student Theatre is a student theatre that activates under the Ministry for Youth and Sports of the Romanian Government and was founded in 1965. During the communism was one of the few youth theatres to fight through culture against the communism.

After the 1989 Revolution, Thespis Theatre continues to present drama that reaches delicate subjects like politics, human rights, environment, but also classical texts of universal dramaturgy (Camus, Shakespeare ecc.) or absurd dramas and comedies (Eugen Ionesco, Beckett ecc.). We also have in the repertoire dance-theatre shows and non-verbal pieces of theatre. Our youth theatre is compound by young students at the local universities and also by ex-students that remained in the group years after graduating, forming thus a big family connected by the same passion.

We took part at various international theatre festivals: Student Theater Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands; Theatra – Amateur Theater Festival in France; Theatralny Koufar in Minsk, Belarus; RITU in Liege, Belgium and so on.

The show is a non-verbal, theatre-dance show which does not depend on a specific space. The language is the universal body language.

“… and what would I do if after a lifetime of searching for you I still couldn’t find you?…. and what if I felt you near but was never able to touch you? ….. and what if I had you but would lose you too soon?…… I would probably die just to look for you again”….
A tale of seven lives told in the key of love. ‘7 Lives without you’ tells the story of two souls lost through time and different lives, desperately searching for one another. Tormented by loneliness, desire and hope, the only comfort they find is beginning a new life, a new chance, another step closer to each other.
The story follows the journey from beginning to end of two unfulfilled souls. Like a fall in a dream where you never seem to land, the two characters are drowning in the desperate struggles each new life seems to bring. Their determination to remain as one, paired with their unwavering love for each other, stands tall like a testament of their raw connection, leading them blindly towards their end. Finding the one in a pool of swarming others, only to see it vanish sets in motion the sequence of lives where both have to, and ultimately want to, endure excruciating déjà vu just for a glimpse of that feeling. The hunger for happiness. For togetherness. For us. The prophetic 7 depicts just that, fulfilment despite any obstacle, danger or death. Completion through love.
