"I am glad that the 'Radu Stanca' National Theater in Sibiu will be present at the 31st edition of the National Theater Festival with four shows that were mounted for in-person performance, but also for online broadcasting. This 31st edition honors the memory of the great late artist Ion Caramitru, the founder of this Festival, of the National Union of Romanian Theatres - UNITER, and UNITER Galas and whose absence, but also presence are so strong. Here, in Sibiu, we dedicate these shows to him, and I as an actor take a bow to the professor I've had for 3 years at the National University of Theater and Cinematography, when I learned a lot from this gifted man. Also, we hope that the solidarity of Romanian creators will fully show in spreading beauty, marvel and joy to all those who have been through so many hardships during this period, to the families that lost beloved people in this fight against the disease and helplessness. A heartfelt wish of good health and strength to everyone, for them to be able to enjoy beauty," declared the general manager of the 'Radu Stanca' National Theater Sibiu, actor Constantin Chiriac.
