„Queen Mother

A wonderful text. Is it a comedy? Yes. Is it a drama? Yes. Is it theatre? Is it life? It remains at your discretion 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, emotions, and laughter… Does it seem familiar to you? Doesn't it sound like LIFE?

I am very happy to meet again with Marius Manole, in a new project.

It is always a pleasure to be on stage with him. He is a perfect professional, an artist, and a wonderful person.

The entire team working on this show is a joy.

So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the THEATRE, to enjoy a piece of life together!

P.S. I also kind of ❤, 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 incredible vulnerability. In this period of our lives, it is much more comfortable to be aggressive, to attack, to be on a war footing.

It’s almost shameful to say „I miss you”, „thank you”, „I love you”. We shy away from showing our weaknesses – with friends, colleagues, even with our parents. But love doesn’t stand aside; it comes over you even when you try to escape from it.

The great joy is the (re)meeting with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I have long wanted to find a text in which to play, to play together, because that’s what we’ve been doing since we’ve known each other. We like it. To challenge each other, to surprise each other, to talk when we are silent and to laugh a lot. I hope we will perform this show for many, many years. That also depends on you, the audience. I can’t wait! May it be at a good time!”
