Starting at Fran Kranz’s highly disturbing text, Mass, Andrei and Andreea Grosu reveal a very subtle theatrical analysis of guilt. Together with four important Romanian actors and actresses (Ofelia Popii, Marius Turdeanu, Mihaela Trofimov and Richard Bovnoczki), the two directors step onto a problematic territory where, just like inside a kaleidoscope, pros and cons, strategies and self-illusions, accusations and positions, victims and executioners constantly change their polarities. An apparently simple question, “Who is the guilty one?”, reveals, through Theatre, its profound metaphysical, social, psychological, cultural, existential meanings. (the NTF curators’ motivation)
