ȘI DIALOG | SABINA FATI IN DIALOGUE WITH ALEX TOCILESCU

forum simbol

duration: 1h

recommended age: general audience

About

Two people are sitting on beanbags under a sunshade. One of them is Alex Tocilescu, who thinks of himself as a playwright. The other one isn’t Alex Tocilescu. They’re drinking beer or water or whatever they feel like. They’re talking about theater, film, culture, 2 Mai, the Black Sea, life, death, or whatever else comes to mind. The audience sits on beanbags and listens with genuine interest. After about an hour, the discussion ends. People leave to go for a swim, or to eat, or to sleep, or to perform in a play. Maybe they’ve left with a thought from the whole discussion, or maybe not. Ideally, though, they would have.


Sabina Fati writes analyses and commentaries for Deutsche Welle. She headed the Romanian department of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and was deputy editor-in-chief at România liberă. In 2004, she obtained a PhD in history with a thesis on Transylvania at “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University in Iași, under the supervision of Professor Alexandru Zub. Her most recent book is Cine râvnește la Gurile Dunării? O călătorie pe timp de război în Delta extinsă: Transnistria, Ucraina, Basarabia, România, Humanitas, Bucharest, 2024. She has also written Călătorie pe urmele conflictelor de lângă noi: Kurdistan, Irak, Anatolia, Armenia, Humanitas, Bucharest, 2022; Ocolul Mării Negre în 90 de zile: Şapte ţări, opt graniţe şi o lovitură de stat în prime-time, Humanitas, Bucharest, 2016; Singură pe Drumul Mătăsii: 80 de zile, 15 000 km, 2500 de ani de istorie, Humanitas, Bucharest, 2015; Transilvania, o provincie în căutarea unui centru: Centru şi periferie în discursul elitelor politice din Transilvania, 1892–1918, 2007; and has contributed analyses to several collective volumes.


Alex Tocilescu has been coming to 2 Mai since 1978, when he was one year old, and he always stays with Aunt Mița, in the middle room. He is also a writer, playwright, and advertising executive.
