„"At the end of this season, the puppeteers from Oradea offer us, with their last premiere, a new proof of their value, of the professional seriousness that characterizes them. This "Carpathian Tale", inspired by the folklore as rich and diverse as the spiritual universe of our people, gives, first of all, the opportunity for the director Francisca Simionescu to justify her return to the Oradea theater (where she had established herself a few years ago). Benefiting from excellent incidental music, arranged by Romeo Chelaru from Romanian Television, which, I can say, is the determining element of the show, the director has created a ballad atmosphere in which popular lyricism confronts profound drama, in which the action "flows" into a unified, tense and captivating whole. Another important element of the show is the scenography (sets and puppets) created by the hand and thinking, certainly, of Paul Fux, who, through the simplicity of the lines and elements, through The monumentality and expressiveness of some puppets elevates the craft to the rank of art, the stage action to the level of a "moment of history".
