“Queen Mother”
A wonderful text. Is it comedy? Yes. Is it also drama? Yes. Is it theatre? Is it life? It remains your discretion 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, emotion, and fits 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 making 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!”

“I can hardly believe it’s happening. A wonderful text that made history. Two characters who, beneath the mask of harshness, hide incredible vulnerability. At this stage of our lives, it’s much more comfortable 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 doesn’t stand aside; it comes over you even when you are running 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 perform, so we can play, because that’s what we’ve been doing since we’ve known each other. We enjoy it. Challenging each other, surprising each other, talking when we’re silent, and laughing a lot. I hope we’ll perform this show for many, many years. That also depends on you, the audience. I can’t wait! May it be in good timing!”
