Because our theatre play "God doesn't watch matches" was a success, the Stindart
Association was invited to perform in the Timișoara Penitentiary in Str. Popa Șapcă, on
Friday 14th July 2023. This show will be presented in a closed setting, only for prison
inmates and staff.
The theatre play "God Doesn't Watch the Matches" is a display of the thoughts, feelings and
behavior of a pathological gambler, as well as the context in which the addiction was
established. This will help the audience understand better the patterns of behaviour and
identify some simptoms of their own or of their peers.
After this performance, the National Anti-Drug Agency psychologist Mariana Iridon,
together with the dramaturg Teo Spătaru and the priest Barazsuly Istvan, Parish Priest of
the Roman Catholic Parish "Precious Heart of Jesus" Elizabetin III, will have an open
discussion with the audience about the subject of the play and about addiction in general.
The inmates of The Timișoara Penitentiary in Popa Șapcă str., have the opportunity to get
answers to their dilemas about addiction from both a priest and a psychologist.
