With irresistible cheerfulness, the show A Different Kind of White-Moor plunges directly into the desacralized mythosphere of the contemporary world, which it comments on playfully, but also with critical discernment. Retaining the narrative structure of Ion Creangă's story, director and author Ionuț Caras uses the fairy tale as a pretext for the plea for understanding, acceptance, and, as far as possible, transformation of the current situation in Romania. This time, White-Moor embarks on a different adventure, populated by figures recognizable to Romanian audiences, whose stakes become socio-political at times. Thus, the eternal struggle between good and evil translates into a direct confrontation between honesty and corruption, culture and ignorance, civic engagement and indifference. The defeat of the Red Emperor— Mr. King in the new version, a local baron who, beneath layers of satirical distortion, reminds us of the ghosts that haunt Romania's present and recent past—has a therapeutic effect, showing us the happy ending we could experience if we acted in the spirit of collective solidarity.
