29 March 2025 - Romanian rhythm and art

On March 29, 2025, the Auckland community pulsed to the rhythm of Romanian traditions at an event that skillfully blended art, music, and folk dance.
Romanian rhythm and art was a true success, and the large turnout proved how important it is to keep traditions alive and share them with pride.
Thank you to everyone who joined us – you made this day an unforgettable experience!
15 March 2025 - Masquerade Ball

An Unforgettable Evening at the Masquerade Ball!
The event was a true success, offering all participants a magical atmosphere filled with color, music, and joy. The costumes were spectacular, and the creativity of those present made the Ball truly special. Special thanks to the Doina Association for their support in organising this wonderful event!
1 March 2025 - Diary of a Madman

In March, the community gathered to create mărțișoare from Sculpey (polymer clay), just like in previous years. The event was a wonderful opportunity for collaboration between children, parents, and grandparents, with the support of seniors who helped shape the mărțișoare. After baking, they were finished with safety pins and the traditional red and white string.

On Saturday, March 1, 2025, the Doina audience had the opportunity to watch the performance of *The Diary of a Madman* by Nikolai Gogol, a bittersweet comedy masterfully performed by Cătălin Anastase, under the direction and set design of Professor Florin Zamfirescu. We thank everyone who attended for this evening of authentic theater! Cătălin, we look forward to welcoming you back to Auckland with more projects.
