The National Operetta and Musical Theater "Ion Dacian" presents:
BUTTERFLIES
October 11, 2024, at 19:00
“Butterflies” is a dance performance that tells the story of a young woman who escapes from a hostile world to reach a dream world full of color. It is a story about metamorphosis and evolution, about self-discovery but also about the search for perfect love. An initiatory journey or perhaps just a dream. All this is conveyed to the audience through various dance styles, through compositions by composers such as P.I. Tchaikovsky or E. Grieg, as well as through arias from famous musicals, performed by Cristina Popa and Letiția Vlădescu.
The direction and choreography of the show are signed by Relu Dobrin, who explains that what he managed to stage represents his vision and his own answers to questions such as:
“What does reality mean? Where does the concrete end and how can we overcome its barriers to move beyond, to that place where magic reigns? How many times have we humans asked ourselves if we will find what we are looking for, the meaning of all our struggles, in the material world, in this palpable existence? And if we could go beyond, if we could transcend time and space to enter another dimension where there are no obstacles and we find that everything is different from what we can understand, what would we have to give up? Probably we would have to abandon any fear of the unknown, leave behind any unworthy thought or maybe even give up the current form of our existence. And how would we look after this metamorphosis?
These are some of the questions I asked myself while working on the show “Butterflies”. Questions to which it is not easy at all to seek answers and which also challenged great thinkers. But until we manage to solve these enigmas, I propose a personal version of the answer, a small door imagined by me that I open towards you for a moment of escape… a part of a dream that I invite you to live together with us.
