FETELE PELICAN
TEATRU NOTARRA, BUCHAREST
SI LINISTEA ARE PULS
TEATRU ANDRE MURESANU, SFANTU GHEORGHE
Imagine a house with pink walls, a fireplace painted by Frida Kahlo, statues of Buddha and shelves full of books written by Simone de Beauvoir and Sylvia Plath… The Pelican family lived in this big house. A mother with an overwhelming personality, four daughters marked for life by the way she drew reality around them and a son who finds it difficult to find his place in this feminine universe. A family story, in which, on Mother's Day, the heirs gather in the old house, to celebrate it as when she was alive and the truths begin to emerge. Love, couple problems, infertility, feminism, betrayals in love, the pursuit of inheritance, redefining art in the 21st century and, especially, the hypocrisy that hides in family relationships, you will find them all in the Pelican Girls. A story about a modern family. A story in which serious things are discussed with crazy humour over a glass of prosecco.

TEATRU BACOVIA, BACAU
ZIUA RECUNOSTINSTE
TEATRU TOMA CARAGIU, PLOIESTI
Although it is the fifth collaboration with Director Horia Suru, this is the first show created for the Revista Theatre - the Romanian equivalent of cabaret / variety style performance. The show features dancers, actors and singers in the well respected Teatru Toma Caragiu, in Ploiesti, around 40minutes from the National Capital, Bucuresti.
The original concept follows the story of a group of artists, auditioning for a new production due to premier in China. Each artist has their moment in the spotlight, causing catty squabbles, one-upmanship and comedy throughout. With a score of adapted, well known music including funk, folk, swing and pop, played by the theatre’s resident live band, the show aims to revive the Revista style to a modern day audience.
