The German State Theatre is honored to invite you to the premiere of ”The Human Foolishness”, directed by Simona Vintilă, based on the story written by Ion Creangă. The event will take place Friday, 14th of December 2018, 7.30PM, in the Great Hall.
How
many types of stupidity are there? How does it register and what is the proper
way of dealing with it? And, most of all, what are we going to do with the salt
block? These are some questions which ” The Human
Foolishness”, directed by Simona Vintilă, tries to answer. The play,
inspired from the story written by Ion Creangă, dedicated to children, and
performed with a modern approach, tells the story of a group of school kids who
stage, according to their own understanding, the famous encounters of the traveler
who discovers in his journeys bigger fools than the ones from his own village.
Agreeable, funny, honest, genuine, rounded by the original music, and summed up
by the pay-off: ”To be foolish is to be human, and it can be
remedied.”
