“Queen Mother”
A wonderful text. Is it comedy? Yes. Is it 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 a 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, emotion, 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.
It’s always a pleasure to be on stage with him. He is a perfect professional, an artist, and a wonderful person.
The entire team creating this performance is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to THEATRE, to enjoy a piece of life together!
P.S. And I kind of ❤ you, Marius!”

“I can hardly believe it’s happening. A wonderful text that made history. Two characters who, behind the mask of toughness, hide incredible vulnerability. In this period of our lives, it’s much easier 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 avoid showing our weaknesses – to friends, to colleagues, even to our parents. But love doesn't stay aside; it comes over you even when you're running away from it.
The great joy is the (re)encounter with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I have long wanted to find a text in which we play, to play together, because that’s what we have been doing since we’ve known each other. We enjoy it. To challenge each other, to surprise each other, to talk when we’re 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 a good hour!”
