„Queen Mother
A wonderful text. Is it comedy? Yes. Is it also drama? Yes. Is it theater? Is it life? It remains to your discretion to decide. A mother and a son. Two generations, two worlds, but one unique Universe. There is much love and tenderness in their Universe, there are lights and shadows, conflicts and reconciliations, jokes and accusations, regrets, emotions, and bursts of laughter… Does it sound familiar? Doesn’t it sound like LIFE?
I am very happy to reunite with Marius Manole, in a new project.
Always a pleasure to be on stage with him. He is a perfect professional, an artist, and a wonderful person.
The entire team that produces this show is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to THEATER, to enjoy together a piece of life!
P.S. And I kind of ❤ you, Marius!”

„I can hardly believe it is happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who, beneath 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 on a war footing.
It’s almost embarrassing 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 are running from it.
The great joy is (re)meeting Ms. Oana Pellea. I have been wanting for a long time to find a text where we can play, where we can have fun, because that’s what we’ve been doing since we met. We like to challenge each other, to surprise each other, to talk when we’re silent, and to laugh a lot. I hope we perform this show for many, many years. That also depends on you, the audience. I can’t wait! May it be in good timing!”
