Nicolae Călugărița
After 32 years devoted to theatre and Yiddish culture, I can say with certainty that I chose the right path. I have had the privilege of working alongside remarkable actors and directors, and of being part of a theatre whose artists hold an important place in Romanian cultural life. On this stage, I have been a king, a doctor, a professor, a banker, a minister, an engineer, a soldier. And yet, after every performance, I return to being the same actor, eager for the next encounter with the only judge that truly matters: the audience. Today, I can say that being an actor is something extraordinary - though it comes at a price. Yiddish theatre was born on these lands alongside the early development of Romanian theatre itself. And all these years later, this theatre is still here, alive in Romania. To have been part of that continuity for more than three decades means more to me than I can easily put into words.
