Book launch: 2. Anatomii interioare. Antologie de piese Drama 5 @ Cărturești, Casa Hintz

On Monday, 9 November, at 18:00, the launch of the volume 2. Anatomii interioare. Antologie de piese Drama 5, published in 2026 by Editura Idea, takes place at Cărturești Casa Hintz (Strada Regele Ferdinand 1, Cluj-Napoca). The anthology contains texts written during the Drama 5 residency, held in the summer at Reactor de creație și experiment. The volume is edited by Oana Hodade, and the authors include Sabina Balan, Teona Galgoțiu, Alina Pietrăreanu, Cosmin Stănilă and Ioana Toloargă; the foreword is written by Alexa Băcanu. The speakers are Oana Hodade, Cosmin Stănilă, Ioana Toloargă, Olivia Grecea and Alexa Băcanu.

The five plays, written between 2019 and 2024, explore the deep, fragile and often unconscious links between mind and body. "Animalul ăsta care se rănește singur" by Teona Galgoțiu tackles self-harm in the form of a playful sci-fi therapy session with android psychologists. "Toate lucrurile pe care mi le-a luat Alois" by Cosmin Stănilă follows the relationship between a son and his mother, who is affected by Alzheimer's. "Sub apă" by Ioana Toloargă is a poetic meditation on depression. "Orgasmul meu e un oftat" by Sabina Balan speaks humorously about female sexuality, while "Papiloma Party" by Alina Pietrăreanu brings the HPV virus, stigma and misinformation back into discussion.

The plays are accompanied by interviews with the authors conducted by Oana Hodade and by two contextualising texts written by Olivia Grecea and Alexa Băcanu. A cultural project co-financed by the Administrația Fondului Cultural Național, which is not responsible for the content of the project. Details: www.facebook.com/events/1165787909733873
