2008 - "Zoo Story" by Edward Albee, directed by Sorin Misirianţu
performance in Romanian - 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis - The Zoo Story, American playwright Edward Albee's first play, explores themes of isolation, loneliness, social disparity
and dehumanization in a commercial world. This one-act play concerns two characters, Peter and Jerry. Peter is a middle-class
publishing
executive with a wife, two daughters, two cats and two parakeets who lives in ignorance of the world outside his married life
while Jerry is an isolated and disheartened man who is very troubled. These men meet on a park bench in New York City's Central
Park. Jerry is desperate to have a meaningful conversation with another human being. He intrudes on Peter’s peaceful state offensively
regarding his visit to the zoo. The action is linear, unfolding in front of the audience in “real time”. The elements of ironic humor and
unrelenting
dramatic suspense are brought to a climax when Jerry brings his victim down to his own savage level.
2007 - "The Emigrants" by Slavomir Mrozek, directed by Sorin Misirianţu
performance in Romanian - 1 hour 35 minutes
Synopsis - Two emigrants from Eastern Europe AA - a haughty and embittered intellectual and XX - a primitive boor share a grimy
windowless basement apartment in a large western European city. AA has fled as a political exile seeking freedom to write without
constraints and now spends his time lying in bed thinking about philosophical book on human liberty which he can no longer create. On
New Year's Eve the two attempt to give a party, all the while discussing an ever-present obsession: their absent native country. AA
ridicules XX's lies and petty vanities, while at the same time he exposes his own sterile rancor. A final revelation comes when AA goads
XX into freeing himself from his materialistic dreams. The two emigrants are trapped in their self-made prison. As the drama ends with
each lying on his bed on opposite sides of the room, AA sobs and XX snores.
2007 - "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett, directed by Adrian Balint
performance in Romanian - 1 hour 50 minutes
Synopsis - The play emphasizes the hopelessness of life and the constant wait of the two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon,
for hope to return to them. Throughout the play, both these characters seem to be waiting for something to put an end to their boredom.
Godot, in a way, signifies “that something” people wait for in life. A play about futility and purposelessness of existence and life, it shows
that it is human beings who try to infuse purpose in the otherwise chaotic scheme of things. The play gives importance to the role of
chance in life that acts as the driving force in life. Nobody knows what happened the day before and night after night falls without anyone
being aware as to what happened the days before. The play repudiates the existence of an organized structure to life and reiterates the
fact that time is based on chance and hence, human life is based on chance too.
