Summary/Abstract: A new generation searches for its identity and the Iasi School of Theatre defines itself through all it does, combining restlessly the creative instinct and rigour. Their performances force you to wake up, admire them, beyond clumsiness and pride, value them and hope that they will have enough strength to live under the sign of the Art of Performance. Minodora Lungu decided to face her fears, search for herself and define her creative identity in a challenging exercise as a director. Good Night Alice is designed to catch the viewer in a web of metaphorical images and persuade him in accepting the reality of a risky balance between worlds and shades that we experience in the depths of our soul. From „Silence!” a young puppeteer wants to carve his own way. Yes, the 2014, class in „Performing Arts” is full of surprises; it is hard to choose and the choice is subjective. I let myself be caught by the silence. Iulian Lungu, dynamic, effervescent, rebel and non-conformist reveals his sensitive side - without words, in a moving speech of gestures. The puppeteer and the puppet started their journey into the world with an one-man-show marked by the vibrant pace of the unsaid, and they come to tell us a story about love, art and loneliness. Everything happens openly, no secrets.
