The concert-performance SONGS OF FEAR invites us to enter an intimate universe, to explore it empathetically and to finally recognize it as part of ourselves. Offering a captivating musical interpretation of Herta Müller's biography, reconstructed from various texts signed by her, Ada Milea constructs a story in verse about the suffering of exile, about the distorted forms that love takes in a world of extremes and about coming to terms with our small personal histories, especially under the pressure of the big, often unscrupulous history. She (Anca Hanu) lives her life under the specter of a war that has already ended, which, however, left behind the almost equally destructive force of the communist dictatorship. The characters who live in the protagonist's memory become extensions of her being, constant, tender or threatening presences. Although today's viewer lives in a seemingly different and distant reality, the show demonstrates the universality of fear and the therapeutic power of hope.
