National Theater Bucharest - Ion Caramitru Hall
The text is a delightful comedy in three acts, written in 1932 and staged the same year at the Maria Ventura Theater, where it was first performed at Bulandra in 1957 by director N. Al. Toscani. Over six decades after Toscani's staging, Horațiu Mălăele brings back to the Bulandra Theater the three human typologies, embodying the Jew Ianke and casting Răzvan Vasilescu and Mihai Constantin in the roles of the Turk Cadâr and the Romanian Take.
Alongside the three main actors, the cast will also include: Dana Dogaru, Adrian Ciobanu, Maria Veronica Vîrlan, and Matei Constantin. The scenography of the performance has been entrusted to Maria Miu.
The play brings to the forefront the life story of three merchant friends, subtly addressing issues of race, faith and religion, individual and group identity status, reminding us that differences are not necessarily a reason for discord. But also that good understanding can function on the basis of acceptance and embracing what defines us and differentiates us from others.
