Satirical kaleidoscope
Artistic director: Gheorghe Musceleanu
Scenography: Eliza Popescu
Premiere date: April 21, 1968
„"Satiric Kaleidoscope" started from the premise that the stage, through its audio-visual qualities, can make the literary text much more accessible; thus, the purpose of the show was the scenic promotion of prestigious literature. The literature recital included two parts: a collage of poetry and satirical prose from ancient times to contemporary times (Fedru, La Fontaine, François Villon, Topârceanu, Grigore Alexandrescu, IA Krîlov, IL Caragiale, Tudor Muşatescu, Tudor Arghezi) and 3 apparently unrelated works in the second part: the dramatic monologue "Telegram" by Aldo Nicolaj, the sketch "The Uninvited Guest" by Petre Locusteanu and the one-act television play "The New Tenant" by Eugen Ionescu.
