National Theatre Bucharest - Ion Caramitru Hall
The text is a delicious comedy in three acts, written in 1932 and staged in the same year at the Maria Ventura Theatre, where it was first staged at Bulandra in 1957 by director N. Al. Toscani. More than six decades after Toscani's staging, Horațiu Mălăele brings back the three human typologies to the Bulandra Theatre stage, embodying the Jew Ianke and casting Răzvan Vasilescu and Mihai Constantin in the roles of the Turk Cadâr and the Romanian Take.
Alongside the three main performers, the cast will also include: Dana Dogaru, Adrian Ciobanu, Maria Veronica Vîrlan, and Matei Constantin. The scenography of the performance was entrusted to Maria Miu.
The play brings to the forefront the life story of the three merchant friends, subtly addressing the issues of race, faith and religion, individual and group identity status, thus reminding us that differences are not necessarily a cause for disagreement. But also that understanding can work on the basis of acceptance and assumption of what defines us and differentiates us from others.
