An entire world is built on stage, with its atmosphere of a legend: archetypal characters enter and exit, surging to life from memories of world literature lessons, instilling the feeling that one witnesses grandiose events. The show can be viewed without reserve as a super-production, yet a question arises: can theater compete with film? Dragos Galgotiu and his team, made up of Andrei Both (set design), Doina Levintza (costumes), Alexandru Radvan (sculptures), Silvia Calin (choreography), answer categorically: yes. This may be seen separately in each one’s remarkable contribution.
