Career challenge – barista and waiter for a day

What does it really mean to work in a café? How much effort, care and passion is behind the cup of coffee that makes our day? In the new edition of ‘Career Challenge’, the presenters decided to find out the answers from the source – by taking up the challenge to become baristas and waiters for a day.

During the experience, they discovered that working in a coffee shop is not just about smiles and smelling good coffee, but also about discipline, precision and team spirit. From grinding the beans to the art of perfect frothing, each step requires concentration and a dose of creativity.

Their roles as waiters tested their attention to detail and ability to interact with customers, while handling orders and serving meals proved to be real tests of speed and organization.

With humor, energy and curiosity, the moderators went through all the stages of a day’s work in a café, giving the audience an honest look at the profession – seemingly simple, but challenging and rewarding.

ACTING OUT – an interdisciplinary performance at the National Center for Arts Education, Chisinau

On November 7, 2025, at 19:00, at 23 Serghei Lazo St., Chisinau, will take place ACTING OUT, an interdisciplinary performance (theater, text, live music, video) signed by director Mihai Lukács and performed by actress Katia Pascariu. Admission is free, subject to availability.

About the performance

ACTING OUT explores the body, memory and resistance, inspired by the life of Estherei Magyar-Gonda, dancer, anti-fascist activist and one of the architects of Romanian modern dance. Starting from her deportation to Transnistria and her renunciation of the stage, the performance shows how the body becomes an archive of trauma and a tool of political and pedagogical struggle.

Actress Katia Pascariu interweaves Esther’s biography with her own bodily experience, going through pressures, abuses and forms of resistance through alternative pedagogies. The director Mihai Lukács proposes a collage of gestures, silences, live music and video images, inviting the audience to reconstruct meanings from discontinuity and absence.

The performance will be followed by an artist talk, a space for direct dialog with the artistic team, for critical reflection and discussion with the audience.

Reflection workshop – November 8

On November 8, between 11:00 and 15:00, actress Katia Pascariu will hold a workshop at Queer Cafe, dedicated to power dynamics in schools. Participants will explore, through conversation and performative exercises, how the body and art can become tools for awareness and solidarity. Limited number of places: 20.
