Tomorrow night, starting at 19.00, the Odeon Theatre hosts the Bucharest premiere of a young and a very promising show. Almost three weeks ago, on May 26, the world premiere of the same show took place in Kiev, during the monodrama festival. The show is called “Moods” and it was produced by the prestigious theatre. The scenario and direction of the Bucharest show belongs to young director Camelia Hancu, while Viaceslav Vutcariov wrote the text. Casting: Mihai Danu and Sebastian Barbalan.
The “Moods” that Camelia Hancu proposed apparently had a special impact during the Ukrainian festival, as articles in the local media show. The media considered that the presence of a show where talk is not favoured in the middle of a festival based on monologues was welcome. Mihai Danu and Sebastian Barbalan give life to a succession of moments from the life of a musician.
A mixture of tragic and irony, the conductor’s story told by “Moods” is not far from the classic “artist and society” theme. The creators of “Moods” propose that the nature of talent be sought in the near proximity of humans – the language of plants, the moonlight, the songs of birds.
They discover the nature of the theatrical – non-theatrical conflict in human nature itself, torn as it is between excesses and greed, vanity and envy. The current lack of value of the spoken word showed its mark on the rigidity of gestures. The mimic hides the intonation faults. The fact that theatre wants to take responsibility for a new step in its evolution is very important. The undeniable quality of “Moods” is that it is sincere to the maximum and it masters well the artistic expression and content.
