Every time we rush to a performance at the "S Ulitsa Roz" Theatre, we wonder when this theater, beloved by audiences around the world, will finally find its own home.
We enter the cozy, yet very small and cramped foyer. Beautiful live music, the smell of coffee, joyful smiles—everything is organized to make the audience feel at home. Before the performance, there's a mandatory ritual: the theater staff themselves seat the audience.
There are always more people wanting to see the performance than there are seats in the hall. Those who couldn't buy tickets come hoping for an "extra ticket." Harmelin, of course, is a Magician. During all the years of the theater's homeless existence, Yuri Arkadyevich taught the auditorium to stretch, defying all the laws of physics, miraculously accommodating those who want to see the performance. But there are always those who don't get a seat, and it's especially sad when children leave the theater in tears.
The problem becomes even more acute during the International Theatre Festival. Dozens of creative groups from around the world come to Moldfest, but seeing their performances is extremely difficult, as the small hall, no matter how hard one tries, cannot accommodate all the spectators and participants. The Wizard tries to solve this problem by renting theater venues from colleagues. But how sad it is to watch! The festival has long been a brand for Moldova, attracting world-renowned artists. This event in the cultural life of our country deserves better conditions for its holding.
The Harmelin Theatre, a welcome guest at international theater festivals, tours worldwide and brings home the highest awards, confirming the high level of professionalism of the Master's students. Yuri Arkadievich himself—the artistic director of the theater, director of the Chisinau Theater Lyceum, dean of the theater faculty, holder of the Order of the Republic, the Order of Gloria Muncii, Master of Arts of the Republic of Moldova, recipient of the Pushkin Medal, Honorary Citizen of Chisinau, laureate of the prestigious Russian Kirill Lavrov Prize, and Honored Education Figure of Moldova—is a teacher who nurtures the souls of not only schoolchildren and students but also theatergoers who return again and again. Harmelin unites cities and countries, the minds and hearts of hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. He has dozens of ideas at work and a million more in his mind. He never despairs, never stops, teaches and learns himself, leads, and never lets us grow stale. He relies on no one but himself and his like-minded colleagues. A home is needed not only and not so much by him as by us and our children.
Since 2002, we have been promised this home. Presidents, prime ministers, ministers of culture, and mayors have come and gone, but the Harmelin Theatre continues to huddle in the small space of the City Theatre Lyceum. The building allocated to the theatre has stood abandoned for many years. Construction has been frozen due to a lack of state funding. In 2018, at the grand opening of theatre week dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the "S ul Rose" Theatre, Moldovan President Igor Dodon moved the needle and announced a decision to allocate one million lei to the theatre: "Let this million lei be the first contribution to resolve the issue of the theatre building. You deserve it!" Unfortunately, in today's reality, a million lei is woefully inadequate for completing construction, and the unfinished building continues to deteriorate. We invite everyone who cares about the future of our beloved theatre to unite and reach out to those who can help the Harmelin Theatre finally find its home.
