Tocilescu’s most recent show, Zoika’s Apartment by Bulgakov at Comedy Theater, continues the series of theatrical “research” on the effects of communism on humanity. The director chose to treat the wounds of the past with a hefty dose of humor, knowing very well how to make the transition from comical and sometimes grotesque episodes to distressful moments. The show features a few excellent actors: Virginia Mirea, George Mihaita, Gelu Nitu.
