The performance "I AM LULI" offers an inside look into what "life through institutions" means. From center to center, from hand to hand, Luli survives. An identity shaped by what others dictate. Who is Luli, really?
"I am Luli, and this is my voice. I am a child, a young woman, an adult, a resident, a number, a body. Luli takes you by the hand and guides you into a different kind of life. From the orphanage to the center, the train station, the hospital, and never home. Luli tries to shout for every person now locked in a social care or psychiatric institution. There are tens of thousands of people like me."
Critical acclaim:
The show is well-constructed, has rhythm, and disturbs, stirring something in everyone who watches it, raising questions that you cannot help but continue reflecting on even after the final applause: for its undeniably important, current, and extremely sensitive theme; for the exceptional performance of the three actresses, masterfully directed by the director. (Liviu Ornea, LiterNet – I am Luli. A show of a special nature)
Luli's story is a shocking sequence of abuse, neglect, ignorance, terror, and punishment, narrated with a stage sincerity that seems hyper-realistic if it weren't just a clear mirror of a reality we ignore because we don't know it, and it bothers us when it is shown to us. (Claudiu Groza in "Tribuna", no. 508, November 1-15, 2023)
