„Queen Mother
A wonderful text. Is it a comedy? Yes. Is it also drama? Yes. Is it theatre? Is it life? It's up to you to decide. A mother and a son. Two generations, two worlds, but a single Universe. There is a lot of love and tenderness in their Universe, there are lights and shadows, conflicts and reconciliations, jokes and accusations, regrets, emotion and bursts of laughter… Does it sound familiar? Doesn't it sound like LIFE?
I am very happy to meet Marius Manole again, in a new project.
It's always a pleasure to be on stage with him. He is a perfect professional, an artist, and a wonderful person.
The entire team that makes this show is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to THEATER, to enjoy a piece of life together!
P.S. And I kind of ❤ you, Marius!”
Marius Manole
“I can hardly believe it's happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who, under the mask of toughness, hide an incredible vulnerability. In this period of our lives, it's much more comfortable for us to be aggressive, to attack, to be on a war footing.
It's almost shameful to still say "I miss you", "thank you", "I love you". We shy away from showing our weaknesses – with friends, with colleagues, even with our parents. But love doesn't stand aside; it comes over you even when you run from it.
The great joy is (re)meeting Mrs. Oana Pellea. I've wanted for a long time to find a text in which we could play, have fun, because that's what we do since we've known each other. We like it. To challenge each other, to surprise each other, to speak when we are silent and to laugh a lot. I hope we play this show for many, many years. That also depends on you, the spectators. I can't wait! May it be a good omen!
