CAST: Ciprian Scurtea, Vlad Robaş
“Through these texts I actually suggested a play with the erotic literature. The character I imagined does not restrain from anything, except for vulgarity (one of the biggest diseases of the contemporary world, especially in literature). Calligrapher of fantasies, my character rediscovers courtesy, he does not dare talk to his lover by using the second person singular, and he finds out that eroticism only wins when it meets Madam Poetry and Sir Humour. «Cum am dresat un melc pe sânii tăi/ How I trained a snail on your bosom» is also a mirror for reflecting our inner duality. In the body and the mind of each one of us at least one other person resides, the one who only expresses him/herself in dreams. Sometimes we don’t have the courage to meet this person, we usually hide him/her deep within us for our whole life. It sometimes asks us to open a window, or at least allow him/her to look straight into our eyes from time to time. The first performance developed after this series of confessions of the innermost imaginary was presented in 2009 at the Kaze Theatre Festival in Tokyo, performance distinguished by the interpretation of the French actor Olivier Comte. The first public reading in Romanian took place in 2011 at the Sibiu International Theatre Festival and was held by actor Ciprian Scurtea.”
