History
The association's chronicle lists productions under the name Stupor Mundi from 1988, starting with Arturo Ui; in the early and mid-1990s it staged several productions a year.[3] Edina Meizel, who studied theatre directing at the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj, joined Stupor Mundi in 2012 and took over direction and artistic management.[2] A production of Tartuffe planned for the Stadttheater Kempten on 30 May 2020 was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was finally staged in November 2025 in the Villa K in Durach.[4][5] In 2024 the ensemble described its production of Roger Vitrac's Victor as marking its 35th anniversary.[6]

The repertoire focuses on classical and modern drama, from Shakespeare, Goethe and Molière to Brecht, Dürrenmatt and the theatre of the absurd, together with plays written by Edina Meizel on contemporary subjects such as alcoholism and YouTube influencers.[3][7][8] The chronicle gives titles only; authors in the table are added for unambiguous classic titles.
