interview with the director Alexandru Tocilescu
Adevarul newspaper, 14th December 2000
Rep.: You are known as an original artist, who explores new artistic mediums, new communication techniques. What attracted you to this project with title that seems to come from the next millenium journals? A.T.: I was invited to the Cultural Foundation Libra to see the cd-rom Eminescu, and after navigating through it for an hour and I realised the extraordinary importance of this editorial project. The large amount of information - text, sound, image, the design quality and the refinement that characterize the whole work, have determined me to gladly accept it and to take part in this beyond ordinary event.

Rep.: What is the difference between this theatre show and all the other events dedicated to Eminescu? A.T.: I don't know how the other events dedicated to Eminescu have been but we try to resemble somehow the CD-rom offer. One opens a window randomly and discovers something known or completely new, having the same preciousness, no matter where one enters. To use a metaphor, 'any piece of the Eminescu cake' has the same taste of sweet and tasty. The event must not be regarded as a show but as an attempt to stimulate curiosity ant to tempt the public to a profound research of this exceptional cd-rom. Rep.: What impressed you the most at the CD-rom Eminescu? A.T.: The quantity and variety of information and, among them, the amount of work associated with inventively that generated a high level cultural object in the Romanian spirituality.
