Aside from the fact that the theatre is active even during the summer, when other such establishments rest after the difficult season, it is also a gracious host for the young generation of creators. The Act Theatre had the biggest number of premieres lately. It has not been a month since the show of Silvia Codreanu called “Ziua maniei” premiered at the select theatre on Calea Victoriei. Yet we are again invited to a premiere. “Numaratoarea inversa” is a production of the independent company Teatrul Inexistent. The show is based on a text belonging to poet and playwright Saviana Stanescu. She was recently awarded by Uniter for another play called “Apocalipsa gonflabila.”
Saviana Stanescu is increasingly noticed by contemporary directors. The renowned Victor Ioan Frunza, the young and talented Radu Afrim and the omnipresent Teodora Herghelegiu use Saviana Stanescu’s texts in attempts to build special shows. “Numaratoarea inversa” (Countdown) is the drama of a woman who loses her minds, consumed by the folly and rush of a world out of bounds. A world where the natural is replaced by the monstrous and human feelings by grotesque attitudes. Written with a cinematography chronology, Saviana Stanescu’s play brings before the stage lights a series of hyper-caricatures, grotesquely deformed by the main character’s memories. Her name is more than suggestive: Zozo.
An absurd text, lively and filled with a black humour that will surely bring a smile to the genre’s lovers. The director of the show is Teodora Herghelegiu and the scenography is signed by Florin Botea. Casting: Ligia Stan/Dana Voicu, Bogdan Talasman, Monica Eftimiu, Catrinel Badina and Gabriel Coveseanu. Ioana Popovici is the choreographer, and Viorel Florean chose the music. It will be a premiere that will try to amuse you, in a non-conformist way, Sunday at 20.00.
