...And Nothing Leaves Me Untouched

"The production starts from a desire, a need to know and understand Caragiale beyond the canonical texts. We are in for the surprise of meeting a critical mind as modern as it is clear-eyed, a social satire that is objective and sensitive, moving, painful, sincere. Starting from Caragiale's own confession - the phrase that defines the world of his writing, his spiritual dimension, his psychological profile - 'enormous sight and monstrous sense' - we chose the title of a production that offers audiences a surprising encounter with a Caragiale they do not know. Like a cold, bracing shower, the TES production, which includes musical numbers performed live by the theatre's orchestra, will, we hope, provoke both peals of laughter and deep reflection. Perhaps we will pause for a moment and think: Ah, nothing new under the sun!" (Monica Stoica & Vlad Isaila, directors)
