Fairy tale with actors
Original text by Ion Lucian and Virgil Puicea after Ion Creangă

„"Success with the public followed them since the spring of this year, when, on April 25, a premiere, a show-event, of European scope, took place at the Romanian section. It is "Păcală", directed by Ion Mâinea, the scenography is signed by Oana Cernea. The novelty consisted in the fact that for the first time a theater-dance manner was approached, with folkloric overtones, including the soundtrack (Fraţii Petreuş, Gheorghe Zamfir)." (Loredana Nicoară, Crisana, (August 9, 2004)

„The biggest success of the year was the play «Păcală», after a show of the same name written by Ion Lucian. The show was directed by Ion Mâinea, and the set design was made by Oana Cernea. As a character, Păcală is very well known and exists in the oral literature of several peoples. In addition to these shows, the Theatre participated with the Romanian section at the Cluj festival, where it won the specialty award with «King Zorzon». (…) The Arcadia Theatre was a co-organizer of the Short Theatre Week that took place in Oradea last autumn. (Ciprian Zopota, information, 2004)

„"A unique thing in the history of the Arcadia Theatre followed, it was the idea of staging a show, in Romanian ("The Blue Puppy") and Hungarian ("Hupikék Péter"), which enjoyed great success. The idea belonged to András Szőke Kavinszki, head of the department within this institution." (Loredana Nicoară, Crişana, August 9, 2004)

„"The first show of the season was a premiere in many ways. A director from Hungary, Urbán Gyula, staged the same show, both in the Romanian and Hungarian sections. In Hungarian, the play is called «Hupikék Péter», which translated into Romanian as «The Blue Puppy». It was well received by the young spectators in both sections." (Ciprian Zopota, Informaţia, 2004)
