Reviews

"Longing for a lover, Eva does not see in nutty Hecht, an enthusiastic paper flower addict, the whole savagery of insanity, and falls victim of her own enthusiasm. Hecht manages in an erotic ritual to create paper flowers, yet destroy at the same time everything that surrounds him, Eva's life included.

The two protagonists, Isolde Cobeţ impersonating Eva and Andrei Hansel as Hecht, are a perfect match on stage. Hansel, fully identifiable with his part, subsequently brings substance to his character (the scene in which he shatters the old furniture and creates a new one)."
