The little communist girl – happy to be away from the German governess, the piano lessons, the French hours – grows confused by the losses in her life. But the traumas don’t transform her into a self-pitiful person. Instead, the character remains fantastically courageous and charmingly candid. Alina Nelega’s play does not reject the past, with its obvious defects, but sets the past under the careful analysis of the present, through a demonstration of detheatralisation of the theatre.
This kind of production is “more direct, it is closer to the hyper-reality which is more necessary in the theatre, film, visual arts and literature. It is a type of image which is built on a word, in a direct relationship with it, less oblique, less descriptive, less dynamic”, says the author in an interview.
