Stage version, artistic direction, lighting and sound effects: Mihai M\u0103niu\u0163iu <\/strong> \u00a0\u201eIn the play seen on stage, a woman is in agony. She gave birth in agony and the mother\u2019s death seems a necessary exchange for the child\u2019s life. Those who watch over her \u2013 her daughters, her husband, her brother-in-law, her old blind father \u2013 still hope, still delude themselves. Treated symbolically, this everyday tragedy \u2013 according to the author\u2019s formula \u2013 is, from the beginning, under the scenographic, easy-to-understand sign of the clock that measures the passage of hours and of the still-lit lamp, whose oscillating flame casts moving shadows on the walls. The expectation of healing is intertwined with the expectation of a relative, a nun who is due to come that evening. Through a series of strange signals, through the words of the characters who comment on them, Maeterlinck achieves an increasingly emphasized crescendo of anxiety. The expected relative is late, noises announce someone invisible, the wind whistles, the trees tremble, the dog hides, the swans seem frightened, the moonlight amplifies the anguish that is increasingly difficult to control. The feeling that, in the darkness of the garden, there is someone unexpected \u2013 the \u201euninvited guest\u201d \u2013 increases the tension. The door does not close; outside, a scythe can be heard, strangely, cutting the grass\u2026 The acute sensitivity of the blind old man catches the signals before everyone else. He hears footsteps on the stairs, a sigh, a cry, somewhere close by. He feels how the unseen guest has sat down next to him\u2026 Everyone experiences a terrible pressure, fear suffocates them, but only \u201ean icy silence\u201d enters through the open window. It is the culminating moment of anxiety \u2013 probably, when the dying breath has ended and a ray with \u201estrange glimmers\u201d suddenly crosses the stained glass. The clock strikes midnight, "a very light noise, as if someone were getting up in a hurry" is accompanied by the increasingly loud scream of the child, silent until then. The lamp has gone out, but when there is light, only a breathless body will be visible, nothing else. Because this time too, "the rest is silence".
