Digul și alte povestiri // Sala Teatru la Cub

The recommended age is 16+ and it runs for 3 hours 45 minutes, including 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 by Andrei Botnaru and Andrei Cozlac, and lighting design by Nichita Teodorescu.

The selection of short stories comes from the volumes "Corul leilor" and "Sistemrestart", published by Polirom in Romania. Radu Afrim says the texts range from domestic realism to something strange, poetic and 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.
