present day. When the team from Teatru-Spălătorie invited me to work on a performance, the idea was to pitch several research topics and I insisted on coming to Kishinev before the actual rehearsal period în order to find a topic of local interest to work on together. To do this, I needed time for research, especially since Moldovan reality is very different from the Romanian one, even more șo from the one în Bucharest. We are talking about a country with

a country with a different history and a different culture, even if we speak a similar language and we understand each other. How do you feel about this kind of intervention from the outside by a person tackling the history of another country? This was one of the main things I discussed with the actors, the actresses, Nicoleta [Esinencu] and Dora [Dorogan]. I told them I wouldn’ț like this to be my perspective on the history of Moldova.

I told them I wouldn’ț like this to be my perspective on the history of Moldova.

to a so-called “socialist” model, to market capitalism after 1990, was extremely brutal. It was an ordeal for many. I’ve seen two sociological studies, done by the British, which concluded that this period (the1990s) hâș experienced the highest number of avoidable, peacetime deaths în European history. Deaths caused by depression, alcoholism, people losing their homes, their jobs and șo on. În Moldova, the situation was even harder, because the 1980s were relatively prosperous there, whereas în România, the 80s were

History does not belong to the elites and is not the history of conquests or of heads of state. This was one of the main stakes of the performance, to depict a history different from that of the textbooks filled with feudal lords, kings, and presidents, one which concerns social dynamics, the lives of ordinary folks

Several student strikes and many violent conflicts between “Christian” students and Jews left their mark on the everyday academic life of those times. Anti-Semitic aggressions led to interventions from

protests were legitimate, since the students were faced with overcrowded campuses and lacked the conditions to study. But their discontent was framed in an anti-Semitic key and resulted in a demand for a “numerous clausus”, a cap on the number of Jewish students in universities. “Numerus clausus” became one of the main slogans of anti-Semitic nationalists and contributed, to a large extent, to the high degree of politicization amongst students.
