Play in three acts by Horia Lovinescu

Artistic director: Ion Deloreanu
Scenography: Tatiana Manolescu Uleu
Premiere date: September 26, 1964

The action of the play "The Boga Sisters" (a Lovinasque intertextualized replica of the play "Three Sisters" by AP Chekhov) takes place in a small Moldavian town between 1943-1946, an interval influenced by the great transformations around August 23. The play follows the lives of three sisters, who, after the establishment of communism, adapt resolutely to the new way of life, either by taking bold initiatives or by enduring the consequences of unfavorable events.

Ioana, married to Radu, experiences for a while the misfortune of having lost her beloved husband, in whom she saw a hero, at the front. Understanding that in fact her husband was nothing more than an adventurer and a traitor, Ioana dedicates herself to social activity, participating in literacy campaigns for ordinary people. Affirming her abilities, she will be called upon to lead the city's affairs as mayor.

Valentina, torn between an unhappy marriage and an uninspired adulterer, sees her romantic aspirations brutally contradicted, shows herself relatively indifferent to the new social realities and will later understand her purpose in this context.

At an almost autumnal age and with the memory of a sentimental failure still vivid, Iulia will find the energy to fall in love once again with a mature and lucid man like her, a communist of great nobility – Pavel Golea. When, as a result of the blowing up of a fascist factory, the illegalist Pavel needs her medical care, Iulia has the opportunity to understand the communist mentality and the possibility of a new horizon towards which she will head firmly.
