The performance "Digul și alte povestiri", after György Dragomán, is staged on 14 November 2026 at 19:00, in the Sala Teatru la Cub, at 18 Agatha Bârsescu Street, Iași. Recommended from age 16 (+16), it runs for 3 hours and 45 minutes, with an interval. Direction, script and sound design are by Radu Afrim; set design is by Oana Micu, assistant director Mihaela Crețu, assistant set designer Miruna Rădulescu, video design Andrei Botnaru and Andrei Cozlac, light design Nichita Teodorescu.
Cast: Daniel Busuioc, Călin Chirilă, Răzvan Conțu, Ionuț Cornilă, Pușa Darie, Dumitru Georgescu, Tatiana Ionesi, Mălina Lazăr, Ada Lupu, Cosmin Maxim, Horia Veriveș, Dragoș Codrescu and Iulia Rotaru.
The performance draws on short stories by the Hungarian author, collected in the volumes "Corul leilor" (2015 in Hungary, 2020 in Romania, Polirom) and "Sistemrestart" (2018, in Romanian in 2024, from the same publisher). Radu Afrim says the texts move from a "domestic realism to something strange, poetic, almost allegorical", alternating humour and poetry. The themes include resistance through imagination, childhood under an oppressive regime, social paranoia, the absurdity of everyday life and the fragility of memory. Unlike "Antologia dispariției", here the director has created a common thread that gathers the fragments into a single story.
