24 October | 18:00 – ODEON Theatre, Bucharest, Majestic Hall
Manhattan, New York, the apartament of a famous american writer, with German and Polish roots, Ula Richter. Nominated for the Nobel Prize, as a very discrete and reserved person, she gives an important interview to Polish journalist Krzysztof Zieliński. The interview has a double endgame: to Krzysztof it can be the starting point of a New York career, the capital of media and the paradise of any journalist, but to Ula it means an incredible opportunity to say the truth or perhaps cause confusion, thus generating a new personal myth.

The performence revolves around the character of the writer played with multiple nuances by Dorina Lazăr. Director Bobi Pricop leaves room for dialectical twists of the credibility of creation in the face of the facts of life, from which the disquiet disturbing the conscience of the characters erupts. The relatively static quality of the performance creates the backdrop for the confrontation of consciences in this veritable Theatre of ideas. Disquiet is an unfolding of the fusion between fictions and contradictory realities, of all those things that cannot be fully said and of what is just invented, in order to make it all bearable, after all.
