"Carnival's" brings to the stage Caragiale's unmistakable comedy, full of consuming passions, delicious intrigues and absurd situations. The hairdresser Nae Girimea juggles between Mița Baston and Didina Mazu, while their partners, Pampon and Crăcănel, jealous and ridiculous rivals, launch themselves into a veritable hunt for "Bibici". The love entanglements mix with gossip and small intrigues, so that everything culminates in a masked ball, where the absurdity and humor of the mistakes already triggered reach their peak.

His directorial vision Vlad Trifas but it goes beyond the simple comedy of situations and love entanglements. It brings to the fore the depth of the characters, through settings and interpretations that evoke an accentuated Balkan universe, which naturally merges with the irony and humor of Caragiale. The noblest feelings collide with the raw impulses of the slum, reason is suspended, and the characters abandon themselves to an unbridled pathos, which only people with an unbridled appetite for life can manifest with such naturalness.

The staging of the show D'ale carnavalului was born in a laboratory state, where the entire team explored Caragiale's deeply human humor. His typologies do not belong only to the past, but breathe around us, people who burn at high temperatures, ready to explode at any moment, because their world – like ours – always operates on the edge.
Carnival becomes the metaphor for this tense universe, where masks, appearances and intentional confusions create a permanent danger of explosion. The laughter that the show proposes is not only comical, but necessary: a mechanism of liberation and recognition in a reality where human fragility and ridicule inevitably coexist. – Vlad Trifas
