Constantin Chiriac

Director of the Sibiu International Theatre Festival
Sibiu, capital of Sibiu Province in the Transylvania region of central Romania, is a city of 170,000 that retains much of its Medieval period architecture. Since 1993 it has hosted the Sibiu International Theatre Festival, which now attracts performing arts from some 70 countries around the world. With performances and events held in numerous venues around the city it has grown larger and larger. This achievement has led to the city’s designation as a cultural capital of Europe in 2007 and contributed greatly to the development of the region. The festival was launched as part of efforts to re-establish the theater that was burned during Romania’s 1989 revolution.
