The play "Like Crazy", adapted from Michael Frayn, emerges as a comic radiography of our difficulties in communicating and building authentic relationships, even when the context should be favorable to us - a party between friends. Behind the avalanche of crazy situations, the show proposes a subtle reflection on social fragility, on the invisible barriers that we raise between us and on the paradox of human relationships: we seek connection, but we are often unable to manage it.
Confusions, lost invitations, meetings that should not have taken place and small everyday catastrophes become the pretext for an exploration of existential absurdity. This "dizzying comedy" is not just about provoking laughter, but challenges the spectator to recognize their own clumsiness and helplessness in the ridiculous situations on stage.
An element of originality and scenic virtuosity is the fact that all the characters are played by only two actors — Adriana Băilescu and Sorin Misirianțu, from the Cluj National Theatre. This choice is not just a demonstration of talent and acting versatility, but also a way to intensify the impression of organized chaos: the multiplicity of personalities, the overlapping of voices and the rapid transition from one role to another become a spectacle in themselves, a metaphor for the way in which each of us juggles with different social masks.
Director Bori Varga orchestrates this comic mechanism with precision and subtlety, building a fragile balance between the caricatural and the authentic, between farce and lucid reflection. In this way, "Like Madmen" is not just a situation comedy, but also an invitation to self-irony and a closer look at the mechanisms by which we relate to each other.
