Summary/Abstract: I was fortunate to be in Craiova in an April evening. In fact, it wasn’t just a happening. I knew that there is going to be a play by Bob Wilson. When reading about the great American director, you might simply become shocked: you realise that his basic idea – in the theater, nothing makes sense - is risky, especially if we remember the words of another great director in the world, Liviu Ciulei ("Directing = logic, logic and again logic"). I read about the woman who cut onions for an hour and during the same time a dinosaur was growing and a volcano erupted. I knew autistic actors and their indecipherable texts. Therefore, I went to the performance with maximum curiosity, atypical for a man tired of watching and directing.
