A tender, moving play, "Butterflies Are Free" was one of the most successful performances on Broadway, and also enjoyed a cinematic adaptation to match this success. Born blind, Don lived his entire life with his mother, almost tyrannical in her affection. In his early youth and in full expansion of the flower-power movement, Don decides to break away from his mother's tutelage, in search of freedom and his own identity. Soon, he knows a different meaning of love than the maternal one, through Jill, an actress at the beginning of her career and already gone through a divorce. A woman-child, irresponsible, playful, Jill fascinates Don with her exuberance, just as Don conquers Jill with his culture and lifestyle that makes him different from all her lovers up to that point. Beyond melodrama and sentimentality, the show captures situations that remain essentially the same despite the passage of time, with young adults being shaken by the same small dramas, equivocal situations and uncertainties.

Play in two parts by Alexandr Ghelman
Translation: Tudor Steriade
Artistic direction and soundtrack: Cornel Mihalache
Scenography: Gyöngyi Újvárossy Kerekes
Premiere date: December 17, 1991
With a specific acuity of vision, playwright Alexandr Ghelman captures a family drama "at a moment when the emotional tensions - the accumulation of dissatisfaction and cowardice hidden under the masks of convenience, of suppressed vanities - are discharged in a furious quarrel between the spouses, triggered by a work accident in which the son lost his arms.
Andrei Golubev had an unhappy family life, Natasha also had an unhappy life, alongside the man she loved and from whom she gradually became estranged, as he climbed, step by step, in the hierarchy of a large construction trust. We, the viewers, are presented not with the moments of disintegration, of the tearing apart of this life; these moments had taken place in the hidden folds of each person's soul, when they had betrayed each other and each of them themselves, out of the desire to succeed in social life (…) The law of compensation, an economic law, says that there is no gain without loss; Golubev won, he finally became the director of the trust, an important link in the endless chain of production relations, but at the cost of his son's physical infirmity and at the cost, more bitterly, of his own spiritual infirmity (…).
Engineer Golubev is guilty of the loss of authenticity, Natasha is also guilty of complicity, but the names of other culprits are also mentioned: Goncearov, the director of the trust, the one who distorted Golubev in the sense of "necessary" social hypocrisy, and others, who are in more or less personal relationships with the Golubevs. A whole vicious circle of lies and fear is guilty, in which the fear of lies is prevented by the lies arising from fear. (…)„ (Constantin Radu-Maria, in the magazine "Teatrul", no. 12/1983)

A modern play with a composite structure, "We Are Urgently Looking for a Communist Son-in-Law" ("The Mandate") depicts, in a mixture of styles, ranging from 19th-century European vaudeville to Russian comedy, with notes of humor typical of cabaret shows, as well as grotesque elements from the tradition of tragicomic farce, the confusion of Russian society that followed the great historical upheaval produced by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
From the historical crossroads they find themselves at, the characters do not know what the future will bring: a stabilization of the newly established Soviet regime, or a failure of the revolution and a return to their familiar state (a symbol of this state of affairs is a painting in the Gulyachikin family apartment, depicting "A Night in Copenhagen" on one side and the portrait of Karl Marx on the other). In this social earthquake, both the old Tsarist aristocracy and families of more modest origin seek solutions for preservation or advancement among the most diverse, but equal to a simple and useless self-deception. Pavel Gulyachikin and his people believe that joining the communist party and being related to an aristocratic family will ensure their well-being; on the contrary, the aristocratic camp hopes that misalliance (and the marriage of a family member to an authentic communist) will improve their social origin, considered unhealthy. In this sense, dominated by personal interest, Pavel Guliacikin wants to be a communist at all costs, even presenting a mandate to prove his membership in the party.
Attached to the past, nostalgic for the Tsarist era, Tamara, Nadezhda Petrovna's friend, brings a dress that once belonged to Empress Alexandra to her house, to be kept safe. The cook Anastasia, trying on the dress, is mistaken for the empress's daughter, and this is where the farce begins...

The play "The Slaughterhouse" is built around the opposition between the pleasures of life (symbolized by the Violinist's attraction to the Flutist) and sublimation through art. The protagonist, a Violinist in search of the affirmation of his genius, retains deep down a childhood experience; he lives under the domination of his mother, an intelligent, experienced woman who is aware of this, but who fears that her son, now an adult, will no longer belong to her alone. The only means of keeping him close is art. The play evolves on the shifting terrain where eroticism and motherhood confront each other.
The contemporary plot is grafted with elements borrowed from the theater of the absurd and even from surrealism. Through its ideological complexity, the play invites reflection on the nature and functions of art, on the search for identity, on modern dreams and fears, on human freedom and dignity. In the end, what disturbs us more deeply: the roars of sacrificed animals or the sweet, divine sounds of a Mozart concert?

In „Amadeus,” Peter Shaffer combines history and fiction to present aspects of the last years of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life. The play explores the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, the court composer of the Austrian Emperor in the late 18th century. Envious of the young Mozart’s talent and unhappy with his own mediocrity, Salieri cannot understand how God could have bestowed such incredible grace on the eccentric Mozart, after he himself had made a „pact” with the Divine. He denies God and plots to destroy his rival by any means possible. In Salieri’s inner world, envy is combined with admiration, almost love, for Mozart’s music. Salieri understands the exceptional qualities of Mozart’s music better than anyone else, and this mixture of hatred and appreciation makes him one of the most complex characters in universal drama. Also, although it bears Mozart's name (Amadeus - the beloved of God), the story is told from the perspective of Salieri, old and preparing for death, illustrating intolerance, but meditating on genius.
Considered "one of the high points of the theatrical year 1986" (Dinu Kivu), "a national stage performance... a true theatrical event" (Victor Parhon), "one of the most important shows of the year" (Valentin Tașcu), "Amadeus" was revived with important cast changes in 1990, directed by the same Alexandru Darie.

An expressionist piece, with strong psychoanalytic and philosophical accents, "Ivanca" has as protagonists four fragments of human individuality: The Father - hypostasis of primary energy; Ivanca - manifestation of the same vital cosmic elan; the painter Luca - embodiment of the Apollonian, but also crushed by obsessions, and his friend, Dinu, who shares his orientations, but tempers his destructive impulses. The greatest fear of the painter Luca is that of not killing, followed by the terror of the passage of time, embodied by the absurd mechanism of a clock in the house. His refuge is the sublimated painting of Byzantine angels and archangels, through which the artist hopes to capture a fragment of holiness, of divinity. With Ivanca's arrival at the house, Luca senses that something bad will happen, because the "old fires" buried in the flesh revive in the presence of his living and stirring body. The tension accumulated in the painter's consciousness will spill out through the affirmation of the unconscious, in the hallucinatory scene of the visit of the ten ancestors. The ten "tenants of pleasures" suggest the repression of instinct, of the pleasure that demands to be fulfilled through Ivanca's female body. This pleasure, however, will be experienced by the Father, who loves "goddesses and servants, without distinction, as at the age of puberty" even in old age. After the moment of madness experienced upon learning of this fact, Luca admits the futility of his attempt to control his blood and the inability to be only a "pure spirit", conscience and morality. Liberation is not long in coming: loneliness no longer attracts Luca, but joy, life, friendship, he is now able to wear his halo of sainthood among people.

In February 1951, George from New Jersey and Doris from Oakland have a romantic affair at the "Sea Lily" motel in northern California. Although each is married to someone else, and therefore committing adultery, they decide to reenact their affair every year, on the same date. For twenty-four years, they meet again under these auspices and build, little by little, a charming emotional intimacy that allows them to discuss without restraint events in each other's families, but also the social changes around them.

Musical composition: Ludovic Boross
Premiere date: December 20, 1990
The witty comedy written by Brandon Thomas brings to the fore the misadventures of a group of Oxford students, prone to pranks and youthful games and driven by the calls of love. The triggering event is the visit of Charles' aunt, Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez from Brazil, a wealthy widow whom the nephew has never met. Her visit is a good opportunity for Charles and his friend, Jack, to declare their love for Annie and Kitty, respectively, who are invited to meet the mysterious aunt. Lord Fancourt Babberly (Babbs), a colleague of theirs, is also invited to the reunion, to keep the aunt company while Charles and Jack make their feelings for the young girls known.
Auntie's delay leads to a series of hilarious complications, the first of which is Babbs' disguise and presentation under the false identity of Donna Lucia. When she finally arrives, she finds that someone has taken her place and, in order to find out more, introduces herself as Mrs. Beverly-Smythe, a poor widow. Jack-Kitty and Charles-Annie are joined by two other couples who must solve the problem of identity before they can find fulfillment: Babbs-Ella and Donna Lucia-Sir Francis (Jack's father).
And as befits a self-respecting farce, everything ends well, demonstrating that love, whether newly born or rediscovered, can be the prerogative of all ages...

Abandoned by his wife, Juliette, and forced into retirement against his will, Maxime Martineau, aged 65, finds himself alone and depressed on the terrace of his second home. He may not be in shape, nor does he lack the zest for life, but he is no longer young or attractive, so he no longer finds his place in the working world, and his life seems to be reduced from now on to pruning roses…
Discovering that his land borders a plastic surgery clinic run by Dr. Ferenbach, Maxime decides to entrust himself to him for a facelift, which miraculously rejuvenates him by about twenty-five years. From here, it is only a step to an idyll with Alexandra, his young and charming neighbor. Together, they swim, play tennis and dance, activities in which Maxime has difficulty hiding his real age, difficulties that culminate in a sudden and inappropriate attack of lumbago during a romantic dinner.
What Maxime doesn't know is that his girlfriend, even his future wife, is also a former patient of Dr. Ferenbach and that young Marion is not his sister (as she had been introduced to him), but his daughter. The approaching wedding and the appearance of Juliette, who has arrived to congratulate her ex-husband and childhood friend Alexandra on the happy event, force the two to end the masquerade and confess their real ages... just in time to head to the registry office to seal their undying love.

What lies behind the neat manners, politeness and strict morals that govern the British aristocracy since the late Victorian era? Lies, compromises and small deceptions, secrets that can destroy even the most respectable family.
When she married her second husband, the magistrate Aeneas Posket, Agatha lied to him about her real age, claiming to be five years younger. To corroborate the lie, she claims that Cis, her son from her previous marriage, is fourteen instead of his real nineteen. His "precocious" inclinations to flirt, drink, and gamble do not fit in with her mother's lie.

Comedy in four acts by A.P. Chekhov

Directed by: Laurian Oniga

Premiere date: March 22, 1990
At the end of the 19th century, May settles smoothly in Russia, on the estate of the brothers Leonid Andreevich Gaev and Lyubov Andreevna Ranevskaya, who have just returned from Paris after a five-year absence. The cherry blossoms remind them of their childhood; everything seems the same as then and yet, nothing is as before. In Paris, Ranevskaya has squandered her share of the inheritance on fashionable expenses with an anonymous lover, and the estate no longer brings them as much income as before. The merchant Ermolai Alexeevich Lopakhin informs them that the only way to pay off their debts and ensure the family's survival is to sell the entire estate in order to build villas, in the spirit of the economic and social transformations that announce the establishment of a new historical era. Nostalgic and absorbed by their attachment to the orchard, the two brothers at first categorically refuse to sell it. However, the precarious material situation of the entire family will leave them no other option. Lopakhin will buy the estate at auction, fully experiencing the satisfaction of being the owner of the place where he grew up, but where his grandfather and father had been slaves. Torn between the joy of this symbolic revenge and the sadness of losing dear places and people, he destroys the orchard, where everyone's dreams are buried, with each muffled blow of the axe.
Beyond this narrative thread, Chekhov's play is more than the simple story of the sale of a huge orchard, a house and a children's room. With the sale of the orchard, an allegory of the passing of time, the act of disappearance of a once all-powerful society is signed. Moreover, what happens, in the case of definitive departures, to the memories of those who leave? How can the past and the present of our lives be reconciled? How can we find the strength to leave without dying, as the well-known French saying goes?
