Epic Theatre of Ethnography and Folklore “Ion Creangă”
Theatre in Buiucani, Chișinău
The Ion Creangă Epic Theatre of Ethnography and Folklore is a folk theatre in Chișinău whose productions draw on Moldovan folklore, customs and traditions. The repertoire includes stagings of classics such as Ion Creangă’s “The Mother-in-Law with Three Daughters-in-Law” and Vasile Alecsandri’s “Arvinte and Pepelea”, as well as children’s shows like “Mother Is the Sun”. Acting is combined with folk music, dance and traditional costume.
The theatre is at 1 Ghioceilor Street, on the grounds of the MoldExpo exhibition centre in Buiucani, close to Valea Morilor park.
