"Queen Mother
A wonderful text. Is it comedy? Yes. Is it also drama? Yes. Is it theatre? Is it life? It remains at your discretion to decide. A mother and a son. Two generations, two worlds, but a single 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 seem 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's a consummate professional, an artist and a wonderful person.
The whole team that puts on this show is a joy.
So: Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the THEATER, to enjoy a piece of life together!
P.S. And I kinda ❤ you, Marius!”
Marius Manole
"I almost can't believe it's happening. A wonderful text that has made history. Two characters who, under the mask of hardness, hide incredible vulnerability. In this period of our lives, it's much more convenient for us to be aggressive, to attack, to be at war.
It's almost shameful to say "I miss you", "thank you", "I love you". We avoid showing our weaknesses – with friends, with colleagues, even with our parents. But love doesn't stand aside; it comes over you even when you run from it.
The great joy is (re)meeting with Mrs. Oana Pellea. I've wanted for a long time to find a text in which to play, to play with each other, because that's what we've been doing since we've known each other. We like it. To challenge ourselves, to surprise ourselves, to talk when we are silent and to laugh a lot. I hope we will play this show for many, many years. This also depends on you, the audience. I can't wait! May it be in a good hour!”
