“The composition of the performance is built, on its main axis, from three sessions of Anna Karenina with the psychotherapist, marking three significant phases of psychological transformation of the heroine, resulting in a totally unexpected ending.

I experimented, giving voice - in addition to what the novel's heroes say - to the inner monologues. The effect has been achieved by redefining in a contemporary context the aparté process, brought back from bygone theatrical eras. This imposed new elements of acting technique.” - Dumitru Acriș

​​"An excessive performance, baroque in the amount of suffering exposed in a plurality of acting expressions." (Alina Epîngeac)
