Cristian Bajora is a visionary producer and director whose passion for immersive theater and unconventional experiences has made him a standout figure in the performing arts world.

I’m based in Florida, but I love the window seats of any plane.

With over 15 years of experience, Cristian has dedicated his career to creating unique, engaging, and memorable productions that challenge and captivate audiences.

From founding a cabaret-style theater to producing national premieres of shows based on world-renowned literature, Cristian's work has been lauded by critics and audiences alike. His expertise in immersive theater has made him a sought-after collaborator in the industry, and his experience with tight budgets and limited rehearsal times has proven his resourcefulness and adaptability.

Beyond theater, Cristian has also proven himself to be a talented director and producer in film, television, and commercials, with his latest project winning awards at festivals around the world.

With a keen eye for storytelling and an unwavering dedication to his craft, Cristian Bajora is a creative force to be reckoned with. Whether in the theater, on the screen, or behind the scenes, he brings a unique perspective and a passion for excellence to everything he does.

Artist

Mr. Bajora stands critically tall in a cultural, artistic, and social milieu in Bucharest that feeds off his very artistic choices. His theatrical productions have in fact been included in ARCUB’s application for the European Capital of Culture in 2021 for their daring, inclusive, and unique characteristics. That Mr. Bajora’s theatrical instincts have translated into equally impressive screen work has only cemented his status as one of Romania’s most influential and versatile directors and producers.

Producer

Mr. Bajora’s influence in Bucharest’s arts scene, and, by extension, the cultural fabric of Romania, is that his In Culise Theatre regularly produces the most exciting and thought-provoking contemporary plays each season. This is deliberately the making of Mr. Bajora and his insistence on fun, unpredictable, and eventful productions including musicals, improvisational comedy, and comedic theatre. To me, a cultural manager should be a jack-of-all-trades, and Mr. Bajora manages to accomplish all of them: he’s a leader and a friend, a parent and a brother for his theatre group.

Leader

Since founding his renowned theatrical hub in 2011, Mr. Cristian Bajora has been the driving force behind the entire list of productions hosted by the theater. Through the singular vision and complete dedication, he became essential in the development of the modern artistic identity of Bucharest in the post-communist era.

Gabriela Hurezean - Theater Critic

He understands all aspects of theatre and film productions with an ease and creativity that distinctly bears his artistic signature. A renowned independent auteur, Mr. Bajora’s work simultaneously carries social, artistic, and cultural weight and his directorial tone is manifestly discerning and fluent. He is also among the most respected talent-finders in Romania insofar as it pertains to theatre and film, chiefly through his TeenMedia Academy.
