by Horia Lovinescu

Artistic direction: Alexandru Colpacci
Scenography: Maria Haţeganu

Premiere date: October 8, 1971

„"The Man Who..." by Horia Lovinescu is inspired by the actions of security service workers, being a communist plea for revolutionary vigilance, the defense of secrets and the general interest of the state. The style of the play brings it closer to the detective genre and uses many of the conventions of this type of writing: the action takes place in the country and abroad and abounds in spectacular reversals of the situation and theatrical coups. Beyond these, the subject punctuated by adventure acquires the value of an ethical debate about the problems of the socialist order.
