Berlin bells and other sights
The National Theatre, which bears his name, will celebrate Marin Sorescu again this year. Born in 1936, on 29 February (a constant source of jokes to friends that he only drinks every... four years), Sorescu is the Romanian author whose work is frequently revisited by generations of readers who are still seduced by the fine irony of the man who saw "literature in progress as a great spectacle".
Until the premiere on April 11 with " Shakespeare's cousin" (directed by Radu Boroianu), the Craiova National invites you to a reading show, " The Bells of Berlin and other views and you ”, with the participation of the actors Angel Rababoc, Constantin Cicort, Nicolae Vicol, Petra Zurba.
Selection of texts from the diaries and poems of the writer Nicolae Coande.
The show will take place on Thursday, February 27, at 5:00 pm, at the Take a Look !
Admission is free.
For those who want to preview an excerpt from the show, here is the poem Perseverance , recently entered to the attention of English speakers from the moment it was displayed in the London Underground. Opportunity for national pride, isn’t it?
Perseverență
"I'll look at the grass
Until I get the title
Doctor in the grass.
You deprive the nori
By the time I'm Laureat
Clouds.
I'll walk past the smoke
Until the smoke, shamefully,
Will become the flame again
From the beginning.
I'm going to pass by all the things
Until they
They will come to meet me."
Perseverance
I shall look at the grass
Till I obtain the degree
Of Doctor of Grass.
I shall lokk at the clouds
Till I become a Master
of the Clouds
I shall walk beside the smoke
Till out of shame
The smoke returns to the flame
Of its beginning.
I shall walk beside all things
Till all tthings
Come to know me.
