“Butterflies, Butterflies” is the story of a single woman, a woman who plays in her own life the role she wants to present to the world: a strong, beautiful, and independent woman who has allowed herself to be courted and loved by men with material and social status, without submitting to any of them. EDDA, because that's who it's about, is the woman for whom family and children are burdens, obstacles in the way of narcissism. She is the woman who cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, who lives in her own world and refuses to accept reality. It is a life story that unfolds from the finesse of comedy to profound drama, a story about illusion, dreams, love, truth, and its assumption.

The three characters in the cast are found today in various families, seeming to be universal. The new premiere “BUTTERFLIES, BUTTERFLIES” will impress with the originality of the staging, the playing space, through the visual elements (sand drawing), through original music that will punctuate every comic or dramatic moment and, last but not least, through a perfect cast: Maia Morgenstern, Marius Manole and Alexandra Paftală. This new premiere, “BUTTERFLIES, BUTTERFLIES”, brings to the stage a special theatrical production, sprinkled with comic moments but also with much, much drama.
