Teatrul Naţional Ion Luca Caragiale~ By Xanadu

i- The Personages
All the world's a stage
all the stages are the world 

The orator with his bowler hat just in front of his
talking to the audience as if to his insides

The ballerina who sits down for a moment
raising her head to her hat stretching her arm

The poor seated (a man) running (a woman)
in clothes that can hardly be called dresses

The commedia dell'arte seniors and senoritas
recounting their age and stories like new again

The gentlemen that are very proud
because of the size of their bellies now and then 


In green and brown
before and after oxidation. 


ii- The Playwright
The playwright has a statue of his own
looking like one of his characters
he smokes a cigar in a broad gesture
stretches his legs crossing each other
His face and moustache
remind the emotions he explains
like personifications on the stage (of age)
at nighttime when life softens (its pace).
