"True stories completely invented about Baia-Mare" helps all the citizens in this town see it from a different angle: the first scene takes place in the underground of the theater building, the next ones with the spectators on stage. The actors are the guides of a travel in the past and another one to the future of the Baia-Mare city. After a serious research - „the first thing they bought once they came here were the bycicles, then they traveled by bycicle in the whole town, visiting museums and talking to people" the thater manager proudly told me - Peca wrote a text and assisted director Ana Margineanu in her staging. The most important and interesting thing about this production is the way its creators „invaded" the cultural space, researched it by theatrical means and than shared their discoveries with the audience, giving them back the city they are living in. Kind of a recovery with theater's help. "  Cristina Modreanu, Art Act Magazine
