The dramatic poem written by Eduard Covali in the middle of the last century, inspired by the myth of youth without age and life without death, is transposed to the stage in a version in which, using the means of expression of contemporary theatre, actors and puppets create a story about powerful aspirations of humanity in any time: the continuity of the community in spite of death, friendship, altruism.
* The text by Eduard Covali, one of the intellectuals who had a decisive influence on the success story of the Theatre of Youth, was taken by Cătălina Buzoianu, a leading figure in Romanian theatre direction, and transformed into an emblematic Theatre of Youth production that premiered in 1975: “Youth without age and life without death”.
