"The last ones" is a piece of life lived without restraint or inhibitions. Mimi's works don't spare you, they ache. Everything is raw, authentic, and true. It's a show about dreaming and about powerlessness, about the desire to succeed, to go somewhere brighter. I chose this text because it's harsh, because I believe in truth, even if it revolts us, and is hard to digest. Our characters are trapped in a world and a time that passes in vain. They are as we are, both cruel and beautiful, you judge them, but you also pity them. We all dream of a better life, we all dream of being happy, and depending on the circumstances we find ourselves in, we are willing or unwilling to compromise." (Denisa Irina Vlad)

"LUX" is a performance that explores the concept of loss in various forms. The loss of innocence, the loss of a friendship, the loss of a loved one - loss on a symbolic level and loss on a concrete level. Integrating four distinct stories, united by the desire to bring about positive change in the world, the show starts from a documentation of everyday events and proposes an original performative exploration of the effects they have on an individual level.
The four characters act according to their own thought systems, thus outlining a typology for each of them: the victim who constantly needs others to intervene and save them from their own life; the people pleaser who places their own needs last, trying to please others first; the dependent, a naive person who feels comfortable only when protected by a group; and the savior, a strong personality on the outside, who has managed to mask their fears by putting themselves in a position of control.
The performance offers a oneiric journey into the lives of four distinct characters, brought together by special circumstances in which they can reveal their true selves. Starting from the premise that the pandemic, war, and the imminent economic crisis generate massive changes within us, the show seeks that dose of balance we need in order to move forward. (Gabriel Sandu)

We could say that everything that is about to happen is because of a piece of roasted pumpkin!
A piece of pumpkin that Toffolo, a woodcutter eager to marry, gives to Lucietta, who, although engaged to Titta Nane, flirts with him only out of boredom and to annoy her younger friend Checca. The other girls in the group join in and a whole mess ensues, in which the men are then involved as soon as they return from fishing.
Each of the girls has her own perspective on the episode in question, and that only deepens the misunderstandings. The Italian village of Chioggia is thus divided into two rival groups and fights fueled by jealousy and frustration begin. The comedy is heightened by the vicar Isidoro, the Venetian official who tries to restore order among the inhabitants of Chioggia.

de Caryl Churchill
For Jack and Margery, who live in a Middle Age village, life is hard. The lands are small and insufficient, and the fief belonging to them can only be increased by the death or departure of someone from the village. The cattle get sick and die, the butter doesn't always bind, love has withered with Jack's erectile disfunction. All this must be a punishment sent by the Middle Ages God for their sins. But what if it isn`t God who is playing with their lives, but, on the contrary... The Devil? The Devil is known to do his work through his helpers on earth: the witches.
Their neighbor Alice and her old mother have all the credentials to be witches: both are single and have raised lovechildren (probably conceived with the help of the Devil); both curse whenever provoked; them (and only them) are able to restore Jack's erection each time they appear; they are poor and most likely envious of their wealth; but, above all, they have a black cat who frequents Jack and Margery`s household.
So when a famous witch hunter arrives in the village, Jack and Margery are more than happy to sacrifice some of their neighbors for the greater good.

by Giuseppe Berto
The story imagined by Giuseppe Berto is inspired by the Concerto for oboe and string orchestra in D minor by the Venetian composer Alessandro Marcello, long erroneously attributed to Antonio Vivaldi and then to Benedetto Marcello, and is a romantic drama, consumed under the mysterious and tannic patronage of Venice. The plot is focused on the confrontation of emotions, memories, reproaches, and desires of two characters, He and She, who meet again after a long time on the platform of a station in Venice and gradually discover that despite all sufferance, love is not dead. But time is against them.
In the cast, you will see the actors Sebastian Lupu and Mirela Niță Lupu together, who give an even greater depth to the characters, bringing in addition to the acting contribution, which for the construction of such penetrating roles requires stage maturity and depth, and that of life, they being, in turn, a couple in everyday life. At the same time, the choice of this text was not accidental at all and marks, somewhat in the mirror, the celebration of 25 years of career on the stage of the Oradea theater.
With: Sebastian Lupu and Mirela Niță Lupu

Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill
Ironic, critical, and picaresque, "The Threepenny Opera" is a play that has become a phenomenon in the European cultural space. Written by Bertolt Brecht, a multilateral and influential reformer of twentieth-century theater, after John Gay's satirical melodrama "The Beggar's Opera" (1728), the play captures, like the hypotext, the world of the marginalized: thieves, beggars, prostitutes and preserves original intrigue, but in a different context and exploring new meanings.
