“Queen Mother”
A wonderful text. Is it a comedy? Yes. Is it also a drama? Yes. Is it theater? Is it life? It remains up to you 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 together with him. He is a consummate professional, a wonderful artist, and a great person.
The entire team behind this performance is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the THEATER, to enjoy together a piece of life!
P.S. And I kind of ❤, Marius!”

“I can hardly believe that this is happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who hide incredible vulnerability behind a mask of harshness. In this stage of our lives, it's much more comfortable for us to be aggressive, to attack, to be on a war footing.
It’s almost shameful 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 run from it.
The great joy is the (re)meeting with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I have long wanted to find a text for us to play, to play together, because that’s what we’ve been doing since we met. We enjoy it. To challenge each other, to surprise each other, to speak when we are silent and to laugh a lot. I hope we can perform this play for many, many years. That also depends on you, the audience. I can’t wait! May it be at a good hour!”
