„Queen Mother
A wonderful text. Is it comedy? Yes. Is it drama? Yes. Is it theatre? Is it life? It is up to you to decide. A mother and a son. Two generations, two worlds, but one unique 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 laughter... Does it sound familiar? Doesn't it sound like LIFE?
I am very happy to reunite with Marius Manole in a new project.
It is always a pleasure to be on stage together with him. He is a consummate professional, an artist, and a wonderful person.
The whole team putting this show together is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the THEATRE, to enjoy together a piece of life!
P.S. And I kind of ❤ you, Marius!”
Marius Manole
„I can hardly believe this is happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who, behind the mask of toughness, hide an incredible vulnerability. At this point in our lives, it is much more comfortable for us to be aggressive, to attack, to be at war.
It is almost shameful to 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 does not stay aside; it comes over you even when you run away from it.
The great joy is (re)meeting with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I have long wanted to find a text in which we can perform, to play, because that's what we have been doing since we met. We like to challenge each other, to surprise each other, to talk 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 audience. I can't wait! May it be a good hour!”
