The Romanian- Catalan project, developed in 2003, intended to emphasize the common Latin roots as a connecting element between two cultures and as a starting point for a Romanian – Catalan collaboration which would create the necessary framework for an original theatrical experiment. Two new plays, signed by two contemporary authors, a Romanian one – Matei Vişniec, and a Spanish one – Sergi Belbel, were scheduled to be staged by two teams of artists from Romania and Spain, and then played, each, in Romanian for the Romanian audience, and in Catalan for the Catalan audience.
