BUT, MOM, THEY ARE RECOUNTING IN THE SECOND ACT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST ONE

by Matei Vişniec

Matei Visniec, the most frequently popular Romanian playwright in the last
period, has a subtitle for his play: “fantasy, masquerade, buffoonery and
experiment in two acts”

Grubi and Bruno appear like a flotsam brought to the brim of the hole - a mysterious place about which everything and nothing is known. A hole which mutters, breathes, exhales smoke, stinks, shelters monsters, shines beautifully, overflows and, every now and then - when it wants -, sings angelically.
