The actors rehearse for a sparkling comedy. But they can't remember their lines, the text is questionable, and the stage movements a disaster. And as the premiere approaches, the director is increasingly panicked. Besides, all this theatre-playing risks revealing new passions that could jeopardise even life beyond the comfort of the stage. Where does the comedy begin and end?
Directors Andrei and Andreea Grosu offer us an exciting show that reveals the fragility of interpersonal relationships with incisive humour. It all becomes a hilarious catastrophe, probing the mechanisms of theatre on sight, to the delight of the audience who witness the scandal behind the scenes.
