„Queen Mother
A wonderful text. Is it a comedy? Yes. Is it also a drama? Yes. Is it theatre? 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 a lot of love and tenderness in their universe, there are lights and shadows, conflicts and reconciliations, jokes and accusations, regrets, emotions, and fits of laughter... Does it sound familiar? Doesn't it sound like LIFE?
I am very happy to meet Marius Manole again, in a new project.
Always a pleasure to be on stage with him. He is a consummate professional, a wonderful artist and person.
The entire team that creates this show is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to THEATRE, to enjoy together a piece of life!
P.S. And I kind of ❤ you, Marius!”
Marius Manole
„I can hardly believe this is happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who, under the mask of toughness, hide an incredible vulnerability. In this period of our lives, it's much more comfortable to be aggressive, to attack, to be on a war footing.
It's almost shameful to still say „I miss you”, „thank you”, „I love you”. We shy away from showing our weaknesses – with friends, colleagues, even with our parents. But love does not stand aside; it comes over you even when you run away from it.
The great joy is the (re)meeting with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I have long wished to find a text in which we can act, to play, because that's what we've been doing since we met. We like it. To challenge each other, to surprise each other, to speak when we are silent and to laugh a lot. I hope we will perform this show for many, many years. That also depends on you, the audience. I can’t wait! May it be in good time!”
