Regizorul piesei „Marile Speranțe”: „Obsesia de a ne depăși condiția e veche de când lumea, dar se acutizează astăzi, din cauza rețelelor sociale”

The Excelsior Theatre in Bucharest opens its 2026-2027 season with "Great Expectations," adapted by Neil Bartlett from Charles Dickens' novel. Director Andrei Huțuleac emphasizes the timeless relevance of Pip's story, highlighting themes of ambition and societal pressure, particularly for today's youth. The narrative follows Pip, a poor boy striving to rise above his origins, facing sacrifices along the way. Huțuleac notes that the obsession with social status is exacerbated by modern social media, making young people particularly vulnerable. The production invites audiences to reflect on identity and the cost of ambition, suggesting that true success comes from understanding oneself rather than conforming to societal expectations. The next performance is scheduled for November 13.
