Each one of them lived a tumultuous life... And here they are now, in the twilight of life, returning to their parental home, bringing with them life experiences, full of adventures and sins, nostalgia and regrets. They (re)pave long-forgotten paths towards their souls; they remember hazy stories from their distant childhood and adolescence; they make confessions that they should have made many, many years ago... And they always invoke Mother, the gentle spirit of the abandoned house... At one point, overwhelmed by emotions, one of the brothers makes a confession. “I’m at the age where some things are no longer worth doing. There’s no point in learning another language; there’s no point in trying a new love; there’s no point in trying to convince someone to do something; there’s no point, there’s no point... Oh, really, damn this. I’m desperate...”
Talk to me, brother! is a drama of delays in life…
About the theater: The Vasile Alecsandri National Theatre in Iași is the first national theatre in Romania. It was founded in 1840, under the direction of Costache Negruzzi, Vasile Alecsandri and Mihail Kogălniceanu, after the first play in Romanian was performed in Iași, in 1816.
The centennial building of the National Theatre in Iași is classified as a historical monument and is rated as the most beautiful and refined of the series of 42 theatres built in Europe by the Austrian architects Fellner and Helmer.
The four own performance halls, the density of the repertory program, and the cultivation of a quality theatrical language have created a strong brand that has entered the cultural and civic consciousness: the oldest theatre in the country, the newest theatre complex.
