Actor
Date and place of birth: 11.05.1952, Cluj-Napoca, died in Sweden
Studies: Institute of Theater and Cinematography "ILCaragiale" Bucharest, 1975, class of prof. Sanda Manu and Octavian Cotescu
A group of four actors – two girls and two boys – students of Sanda Manu, who had directed in Oradea, chose the city theater on Crişul Repede, after graduation. As a sign of appreciation for their gesture and talent, the theater management chose the play „The Nameless Star” by Mihail Sebastian in the repertoire for them. Radu Vaida played the main role: Marin Miroiu. It was one of the many main roles that he played with talent and dedication in five years spent in Oradea, for some of them receiving distinctions (collective or individual) for artistic quality. Chroniclers have always recorded his artistic achievements: "a fine draftsman of the chlorotic Cinzio" ("Trevi Fountain" by Gian Lorenzo Bernini), troubled and surprisingly interiorized" ("To the Stars" by Leonid Andreev), "remarkable (in a pair with Mircea Constantinescu in "The Emigrants" by Slawomir Mrožek), expressing in an original, tragic way, the limiting condition of the emigrants", in a "solid and coherent spectacle, of remarkable rigor and tension".
He performed a one-man show – "Major Political Trials", a true test of concentration and talent. After a while, he "targeted" the capital, where he went to appear in important roles, in a few films, and then emigrated to Sweden. He tried several jobs (in addition to theater), becoming a creator of musical instruments (ocarinas). He fought with life, but an incurable disease brought him down in the midst of his creative effervescence, far too ruthlessly and prematurely.
