The Bulandra Theatre Company has been and is still the meeting point of the most renowned creators of Romanian theatre. Founded in 1947 by the City of Bucharest, the new institution, called the City Theatre, started its activities with a group of nine actors under the direction of the great Romanian actress Lucia Sturdza Bulandra. Seen as a place of political opposition, the Bulandra faced severe censorship during the Communist era but survived and, since Ceausescu’s fall in 1989, the theatre has enjoyed success both at home and abroad.
