In memory of Mircea Bradu
How strange life is! About two months ago – around April, when I had also turned a few years old – Mircea wrote a newspaper page about me and my work, as about a friend and collaborator you knew and appreciated. We even talked on the phone without knowing that it would be our last conversation!
We have known each other for a long time, since 1959, when we worked together as methodologists at the Regional House of Popular Creation Crișana, then, after he started "writing theater" and I became director, I promoted him, based on merit, and we played roles in each of his plays, whether they were called "Vlad the Impaler in January", "White Night", "The Decision", or others that followed.
I supported him, together with Elisabeta Pop, during his long period as director and we remained friends even after we were no longer directors…!
He wished me "happy birthday!" I am forced, like all his friends, to shed a tear for the man who was Mircea Bradu and to express my belief that his name will remain a reference for what literature and art mean - in this generous area for those who love and respect the creators of beauty!
...Someone else has left! Such is life!
