#tragedy +15
by William SHAKESPEARE
Direction and scenography: Mihai ȚARNĂ
MIHAI ȚARNĂ: "Three years ago, for the first time I spoke with Mr. Petru Vutcărău about staging King Lear at TNEI.
TNEI... Petru Vutcarau, who had not stepped on stage for a long time. An exceptional but unknown troupe...and of course King Lear, Shakespeare's top play. All these elements put together must create a single thought, a single desire, a unique pleasure and of course true madness...fear breeds courage. July 22, 2021 – the first rehearsal, the first meeting with the band, with the theater, with the hall, with the invisible looks and gestures, the expectations and thoughts of the creative team...
The readeness is all... the availability is everything... that's how Petru Vutcarau is, that's how his band is".
