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.

The set was a true visual gem, a barbershop transformed into a theatrical universe, where the bright colors, rustic details, and two-level structure brought an authentic air, but also a touch of modernity. The illuminated sign "Nae Girimea's Barbershop" dominated the stage, becoming a symbolic landmark of the farce and identity confusions specific to comedy.

The costumes perfectly complemented the carnival atmosphere: the brightly colored clothes, the exaggerated cuts and the inspired accessories outlined expressive and lively characters. From the ironic elegance of the barber Nae Girimea, to the exuberance of the ladies from the Bucharest slums, everything breathed the charm of the time and the spirit of the Caragiale farces.

Director Vlad Trifaș managed to maintain a brisk pace, with a fresh and accessible humor for the contemporary audience, without losing the flavor of the original. The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed, relaxed, dominated by laughter and warm reactions, proof of the fact that classical Romanian theater still manages to speak the language of all generations.

In the end, the show D'ale carnavalului was not only a successful comedy, but also a true celebration of the spirit of a great national writer, a demonstration of talent, creativity and joy without which you cannot make valuable theater. A memorable ending for the festival, which left the audience with a smile on their faces and with the desire to return to the theater.
