The Old Woman’s Daughter and The Old Man’s Daughter

“Without going too far regarding Creangă’s story, the director Daniel Stanciu (who also wrote the script) adds to the already lively and rhytmed action an impressive color tint. Singing and dancing…The actors performance complement happy with the projections on the big screen. The director emphasizes the qualities of the old man’s “beautiful, hard-working and kind-hearted” daughter, but also highlights the “ugly and bad-hearted” nature of the old woman’s daughter”. – Maria Sârbu

The Bear Tricked by The Fox

There once was a fox that was not any better than other cunning foxes. She always seeked to get food without hassle. One day, the fox picked off the road a lot of fish that fell from a fisherman’s filled cart, and when the bear requested some fish, the fox lied, telling him that she had caught it. Then she taught him what to do to catch some himself. She told him to go to the puddle in the woods, to put his tail in the water and stay there until daylight. When the bear pulled with all his might, he caught nothing, but his broken tail, which remained trapped in the ice. They say that’s when the bear lost his tail. The performance from Ţăndărică is dynamic, interactive and has a moral: do not trust people you don’t know, because “kindness is forgotten in the face of greed”.
