Sibiu International Theatre Festival is the leading arts festival in contemporary Romania, with a world class line-up of international performers and artists. For the past ten years, it has been a place for dialogue and meetings due to its wide range of projects, seminars and colloquiums, facilitating the presentation of performances from all over the world. Throughout its evolution, the Festival was organized as a multifunctional organism, whose main concerns were 1) a creative milieu and 2) an anthropologic horizon widened through and by theatre..

"This is cabaret theater as damnation tongue in chic...with everything
from breathy love songs to darkly urgent ballads with a Balkan flavor."
New York Village Voice
“Ruth
Margraff is a performance artist who looks like Shirley Temple, sounds
like Marilyn Monroe and has the mentality of Thomas Merton eating alive
William S. Burroughs. She’s got a savage imagination and a very sweet
affect.” Erik Ehn National Public Radio “All Things Considered”:
Rebellion in the Regional Ranks
“Composer Brisco has written a melodic score full of gypsy influences…Special mention must go to Orpheus’ four-piece band: guitarists Brisco and Ron Riley, percussionist Rami El-Aasser, and accordion player Ruth Margraff all perform beautifully.” New York Theater.com
