The National Operetta and Musical Theatre "Ion Dacian" presents:
BUTTERFLIES
April 19, 2026 at 11:00 AM
"Butterflies" is a dance performance that tells the story of a young woman who escapes from a hostile world to reach a dream world, full of color. It is a story about metamorphosis and evolution, about self-discovery but also about the search for perfect love. An initiatory journey or maybe just a dream. All these are transmitted to the audience through different dance styles, through the scores of composers such as P.I. Tchaikovsky or E. Grieg, but also through arias from famous musicals, performed by Daniela Bucsan and Oana Rusu.
The direction and choreography of the show are signed by Relu Dobrin, who explains that what he managed to stage represents the vision and his own answers to questions such as:
“What does reality mean? Where does the concrete end and how can we overcome its barriers to go beyond, towards that place where magic governs? How many times have we, people, wondered if we will find what we are looking for, the meaning of all our struggles, in the material world, in this palpable existence? And if we could go beyond, if we could transcend time and space to enter another dimension where there are no obstacles and where we find that everything is different than we can understand, what must we give up? We would probably have to abandon any fear of the unknown, leave behind any unworthy thought or perhaps even give up the current form of our existence. And what would we look like after this metamorphosis?
Here are some of the questions I asked myself while working on the show "Butterflies". Questions to which it is not at all easy to seek the answer and which have also provoked great thinkers. But until we get to solve these enigmas, I propose a personal version of the answer, a small door imagined by me that I open to you for a moment of escape... a part of a dream that I invite you to live with us.
