The feminine version of Lear by Andrei Serban at Bulandra Theater surprises with an unexpected, bold, yet justified vision of the stage director, who sees the land given by Lear to his daughters as Romania herself, whose map is actually torn off and pieces are offered to each of them. Mariana Mihut puts up an ageless Lear, moving in a credible way from blind self-importance to belated illumination and wisdom, exiting life after having understood a few essential truths, whereas the same cannot be said about the majority of people.
