Too soon, the actor PAUL BASARAB passed away.
He graduated from from IATC Bucharest in 1974 and was an actor of Cluj-Napoca National Theatre uninterruptedly until the last day of his life. Parl Barasab, an actor gifted with dramatic energy, presence and a special voice, he performed in more than 40 productions, under the direction of Aureliu Manea, Mihai Măniuţiu, Mircea Marin. His last two productions were WHEN WE DEAD AWAKEN by de Henrik Ibsen, directed by Cătălina Buzoianu, and THE BOLD SOPRANO by Eugène Ionesco, directed by Gábor Tompa.
The poetry performances which he directed and performed in are unforgettable: TERRA INCOGNITA, in the memory of the poet-actor Emil Botta, for which he was awarded the 3rd national prize, I DO NOT TRAMPLE OVER WORLD’S COROLLA OF WONDERS by Lucian Blaga, THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE by George Coşbuc, his Radu Stanca-recital. His voice became one with the voice of poetry. The best of these were the performaces dedicated to Blaga, for which he received numerous prizes: 1st Prize at the National Theatre Festival in Bucharest, 1995 (THE GREAT ANONYMUS’ LITURGY directed by regia Mircea Marin); The Great prize at the International Lucian Blaga Festival in Sebeş-Alba, 1997; 1st prize at the International Lucian Blaga Festival in Sebeş-Alba, 2000.
Paul Basarab was a cerebral actor endowed with noblesse on stage. The memory of him will stay on in the hearts of his colleagues and his admirers.

CARNIVAL by I.L. Caragiale opens at Cluj-Napoca National Theatre on Saturday 4 February 2012 at 7pm in the Main Auditorium.
"The world that Caragiale’s theatre gives back to each audience generation is inevitably recognizable, firstly because of its despairing contemporaneity. Any kind of Romanian context, historical, cultural or social, places on the stage of our quotidian the characters depicted by Caragiale with the unequalled brilliancy of a creator, sociologist and political analyst. How could a director not fall intro the traps, similar to a prescriptive space, set by the playwright years ago?" says the director Mona Marian about the production.
