The last show of the 12th edition of the Young Theatre Festival proved brilliant through the director's vision and the actors' performances, through the scenery and costumes. IL Caragiale's play, the director proves to us Vlad Trifas, is not dated. It can be brought without being essentially modified, with ingenuity, at the level of the message, into the deepest topicality.

The evening I saw the show D'ale carnavalului, directed by Vlad Trifaș, was one of those theatrical experiences that completely takes you out of your daily routine. Far from a simple retelling of the classic text, Trifaș manages to reinvent it, bringing it into the present through subtle but meaningful means.

The show that concluded the twelfth edition of the "Young Theatre Week" festival, organized by the "George Ciprian" Theatre in Buzău, was Carnival's gentlemen, a comedy by Ion Luca Caragiale, which came to life thanks to his direction Vlad Trifas, performed by the band from "Queen Maria" Theater, Oradea.

The last evening of the "Young Theatre Week" festival ended on an explosive note, full of humor and energy, with the staging of the play D'ale carnavalului by IL Caragiale, under the inspired direction of Vlad Trifaș. The hall was packed, the audience coming in large numbers to taste the delicious world of Caragiale, and laughter and applause resounded throughout the performance.

Some shows don't end at the magical moment of the curtain falling, the lights going out. They remain in your mind, like an echo that follows you. This is also the case with the show D'ale carnavalului by Ion Luca Caragiale, directed by Vlad Trifaș – a show that makes you laugh, but also prompts reflection – among what people do we live?! in what way do we live?!

„"Things I Know to be True" by Andrew Bovell, directed by Vlad Bălan, opened the 2025-2026 season of the "Regina Maria" Oradea Theater and is also one of those few shows that takes the risk of touching on areas that theater usually avoids.

I am starting to travel around the country more and more. And this often leads to moments of reverie, joy, and simply happiness. But also to moments of envy (positive, to be honest), because I am discovering or rediscovering cities, places much more beautiful and richer than our "dear" capital. Two of these cities that I have rediscovered lately are Cluj and now, Oradea. At least in the case of the latter, I was truly enchanted by the beauty of the central area through which I walked and which took my thoughts and soul directly to Baroque Vienna and that of the early 20th century. The elegance of the buildings that combine that charged style whose name comes from Portuguese and the Secession style give Oradea an air of a story that cannot help but envelop you and carry you back in time.
