“Butterflies, Butterflies” is the story of a lonely woman, a woman who plays in her own life the role she wishes 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, as she is called, is the woman for whom family and children are burdens, obstacles to unfolding 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 deep dramatism, a story about illusion, dreams, love, truth, and embracing it.

The three characters in the cast can be found today in various families, appearing to be universal. The new premiere “BUTTERFLIES, BUTTERFLIES” will impress through the originality of the staging, the playing space, the visual elements (sand drawing), through an original music that will punctuate every comic or dramatic moment and, 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 a lot of dramatism.
