Andrei Finți

For me, the State Jewish Theatre is a place of roots and living memory. Here, I have always felt that stories reach far beyond the stage and find their way into people’s hearts, carrying with them the history, humour, pain and beauty of a culture that has endured through art. Every performance is a testament to continuity and to the resilience of the human spirit. To me, this theatre means belonging, emotion and truth.
