“Lola Blau, an actress, a woman, a lover, sings her life in a confessional musical about meaning, fulfilment, and the tireless search for the self.
Lola Blau stops time, takes us by the hand, and gently leads us, with irony, humour, and pain, through the portals of the self and the feminine ego: the woman who loves, the woman who leaves, the woman who hides, the woman who gets lost, the woman who dreams, the woman who reinvents herself, the woman who dares and never gives up courage, hope, and above all the belief that beyond a present that is often overwhelming and hard to grasp, there is always a time for rediscovery, for love, for calm, and for peace.
Her emigration, from one country to another, from one culture to another, from one identity to another, is our emigration. Her fear of the unknown is our fear. Her loneliness is our loneliness. Her insecurities hurt us with the same heart. Her compromises are transgenerational. Her ambitions collide with the same doors, the same walls we too have faced. Her dreams, sometimes so fragile, are our dreams, written into a score of tireless hope.” – Dumitru Acriș.
