"Dear residents of Sibiu, soon the biggest theatre festival, a world-renowned festival is kicking off in Sibiu I would like to thank the general director of the Radu Stanca National Theatre, Constantin Chiriac, president of this festival, for the invitation and the challenge he has launched at us this year, for the Folk School of Arts and Crafts, for the most talented students of the painting class. For ten days, from June 23 until July 2, our students will paint in different locations, and at the end of this festival, all the unique moments, captured from the performances, will be materialized in an exhibition, which we have suggestively named 'The Miracle of a Day'.
