Carnival stuff

Silviu Purcarete’s performance is an accurate staging of Ion Luca Caragiale’s text which brings to the stage the world of the carnival and of the fair in a whirlwind of comic situations built around romantic complications. The scenes are vivid, intense, with a force that comes from the Romanian folklore. The music composed by Vasile Sirli becomes a decisive element, articulating the message of the performance. The tension and mystery of every spoken line is supported by the light game created by Silviu Prcărete and Dragoș Buhagiar – the set and costume designer.
Silviu Purcarete is looking leniently and with sympathy upon Caragiale’s characters, staging perfectly plausible life situations.
