Costinesti September 1 – 4, 1998
“The territory offered, daring to be yourself, and the courage to experiment the bravery of keeping them in the respect of theatrical tradition through and beside the others the risk of being a winner, a loser, or ignored.”
An invitation for the candidates: to assume their own destiny, for the audience: to become the active witnesses of the first steps taken by a new generation on an ancient road which is nevertheless full of new surprises”
