„"We live in the midst of a burning age" continued the series of small-scale performances from the café-théâtre project of the Romanian section, benefiting from a group of young performers, barely past the age at which Nicolae Labiş created. The beauty of the lyrics intertwined with the musical chords, creating a performance that attempted to go beyond the canons of a regular recital, in order to instead create a unified story, in which the protagonists express their thirst for life, the struggle with themselves at the crossroads of life. Labiş's lyrics, vibrant and charmingly candid, do not exclude confrontation with reality, however. As Gheorghe Tomozei states, "adolescent, Labiş's poetry is an invitation to mature contemplation. Simple in its representations, it calls for depth."”
