Iorgu, the grandson of Enachi Damian, a scholar educated in an imaginary cultural center, in a superficial type of Sadagura, notices that the city of Iasi is an ankylosed place, where the patterns of the old forms of existence cannot be thrown away by the breath of renewal. Enachi Damian knows well that the pretend-Frenchman Iorgu has to raise his race not through the delivery exercise, which he despises, but through the power of money. A political parody and not only, the play sharply ridicules truths, false prejudices, and amends pretense! For the author, the play becomes the voice by which it makes its views known about the traditions, bads or good habits of the community of those times, seen from the position of the intellectual with acutely critical sense. For the actors involved, the performance is the opportunity of discoveries such as the ones starting from the stage and ending dep in themselves, which brush up their artistic means. For the public, the play will be a good opportunity to enjoy the healthy humour and unmistakable charm and Moldovan speech, the regional dialect.
