Asked what relationship the Bulandra Theater with Victor Rebengiuc had, the director of the institution reminds the moment when the actor had announced, three years ago, that “He wants to play the “father” in Bulandra “.
“Master Victor Rebengiuc is one of those rare artists who have the strength to change the energy of a room only by their mere presence. I still remember, three years ago, when he told me, with the naturalness and elegance that define him, that he wants to play the “father” to Bulandra, that I replied without hesitation: “Yes, absolute!”.
In front of such a project there can be no obstacles, I just felt that we have the honor and duty to fulfill it. Each representation, played with the house closed, brought with it a huge joy: for the public, for colleagues, for me, as the theater director, but also as an actor and apprentice, having all the immense privilege to be with a living legend of the Romanian theater, film and culture. By a righteous and worthy man, by a perfect artist, a generous colleague, full of humorous and fine irony, with an impeccable scenic presence and a glittering mind ”, Vlad Zamfirescu told ProTV.
The show “Father” exists “due to the spirit and energy of the master”
Asked how he received the news that the show will no longer play, the director of the theater confessed that he received it with “The heavy heart, of course, but with deep understanding and respect for choosing the master. ”
“With a heavy heart, of course, but with deep understanding and respect for choosing the master, accompanied by the natural emotion of a breakup, but also with the admiration that Mr. Victor Rebengiuc inspires.
With the same dignity and elegance with which he served the scene, for seven decades, he chose to conclude the path of André. For us, this decision is still a lesson of nobility and respect, both for the theater and for the public who applauded with tears and the soul full of gratitude, from the first to the last representation with “Father” ” said Zamfirescu.
Last but not least, asked if the show “Father”, Vlad Zamfirescu, will be played that “”It is impossible to think of him without Mr. Victor Rebengiuc ”.
“The show exists due to the spirit and energy of the master. It is impossible to think of him without Mr. Victor Rebengiuc, because the show was born because of his reign, but also because André was, is and will forever remain his role.
The entire artistic adventure was built around this election. At the same time, I feel the need to thank the whole team of the show, from colleagues to the director, set, the technical team, etc., for the way they contributed to the magic of this show. But the emotional and artistic imprint left by Victor Rebengiuc is so deep that it would be unimaginable to continue without it. For us, the “father” remains a chapter closed with dignity and emotion, an unrepeatable meeting, of which we are grateful that we have had a part. And for which we thank them, with deep gratitude and love, to Mr. Victor Rebengiuc ”, he said.
