“What a wonderful memory the National Theater in Craiova gives me! That of several magnificent performances by Silviu Purcărete. And also that of a true troop, in which the actors and technicians are united by the same passion that director Emil Boroghină himself instills in them – more than a director, a great friend of the theater and therefore also of mine and ours.” (Bernard Faivre d’Arcier – Director of the Avignon Festival)
