“I am very honored and grateful to have been offered the opportunity to have an exhibit in Bucharest by The Romanian National Theatre Festival. This exhibit is my selection of 40 images, from 1975 to 2018, from both the world of Theater and Cinema, Reportage on Set | Stage and Formal portraits of Actors, Directors and Writers. All images are meaningful to me and stand for my life working in the Theater and Cinema, which has been my entire life so far. A life that I am very grateful for. I love my work …. I look forward to talking about each moments during my talk during the Festival on October 20.” Brigitte Lacombe
