The Regina Maria Theater announces the premiere of the show ULTIMIII, text by Mimi Brănescu, directed by Denisa Irina Vlad, which will take place on December 3 and 4, from 7 p.m., at the Transilvania Hall.

The play "The Last" is full of Mimi Brănescu's specific irony. Built with humor and drama alike, it leaves the viewer the freedom to position themselves as they wish in relation to what is happening on stage, and Denisa Irina Vlad's directorial vision maintains the balance of this duality, without tipping the scales too much to one side or the other. The show captures a world that is funny at first glance, with simple characters, caught in the seemingly stupid dramas of their limited universe, but who reveal downright tragic realities along the way. The situation of the four characters evokes laughter, but as the story reveals the other layers of their family life, the laughter will be doubled by regret, compassion and even revolt towards their stasis in their own helplessness.

Mimi Branescu is an actor, playwright, screenwriter and theater director, recognized for the sharp humor, in which uncomfortable and revealing truths are cleverly wrapped. With his unique style of writing theater, the Oradea audience is already familiar with the show "Genul acuzativ", which premiered at the Iosif Vulcan Troupe in March 2021. His theater conquers with its naturalness, truthfulness and rawness. He brings episodes from everyday life to the stage, usually focusing on the human being, without pretensions and etiquette tricks, revealing vulnerabilities and flaws.

The show staged at the Transilvania Hall bears the directorial signature of Denise Irina Vlad, who has directed successful shows in the independent space such as "Do You Love? Pay!", an adaptation of "Husband for Sale" by Mikhail Zadornov, or "The Joy of Existence", an adaptation of a text by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. The comedy "Do You Love? Pay!" was taken over by the Iosif Vulcan Troupe at the end of last season and continues to perform to full houses.

About the show "The Last Ones" Denisa Irina Vlad says that "it is a piece of life, lived truly and without restraint, without modesty. Mimi's plays do not spare you, longing. Everything is raw, authentic and true. It is a show about dreaming and about helplessness, about the desire to succeed, to go somewhere more into the light. I chose the text because it is a tough text, because I believe in the truth, even if it revolts us and is difficult to digest. Our characters are captive in a world and in a time that passes in vain. They are as we are, both bad and beautiful, you judge them, but you also pity them. We all dream of a better life, we all dream of being happy and, depending on the situation we find ourselves in, we are willing or not to make compromises."

The show's scenography is by Răzvan Chendrean, and the lyrics belong to George Dometi.

The cast includes actors Pavel Sîrghi (Ică), Sorin Ionescu (Marcu), David Constantinescu and Alin Stanciu (Lulu), Giorgiana Coman and Denisa Vlad (Luminița)

The show is not recommended for people under 16 years of age!
