Summary/Abstract: Ridi Pagliaccio!, as the show was called, is a syntagm very dear to her as it is the quintessence of our profession: no matter how you feel, how sad or depressed you are, you, the actor, should always be happy and playful on stage!... Ilinca managed to bring together in a very skilfull manner the three main acting characteristics: the art of acting, of shadow puppetry and marionette manipulation. She also expressed poetically the (intimate, I may say!) relationship between the puppeteer and the puppet, the manipulator and the object that is being manipulated.
