"Eight young actors compose through movement some of the famous "Murphy's Laws" quips for an hour. And it is funny, and it is fresh, and it is smart. First, the atmosphere inspired by the musical illustration chosen by Andrea Gaviliu has an eclectic journey that is itself amusing. From contemporary rhythms to cheerful songs of the past decades, the actors' movements are accompanied by a shrill and meaningful sound universe in the construction of this entertaining toy.

Then, the energy they release, that vibe of joy of being on stage. In the current context, the meaning of this phrase - "the joy of being on stage" is even more amplified. And they convey step by step, movement phrase by movement phrase, that is all. And everything is extremely focused, careful, fine-tuned, under control. Small errors, small desynchronizations, small outages or involuntary accidents become assets of the living manifestation of the randomness of a performance very well anchored in a fixed structure."

Alina Epîngeac, Amfiteatru - "M from Murphy" and H from Humour  

„M from Murphy” is a lively and bold show, which works well one`s imagination and sense of humour. A fun and necessary emotional and artistic exercise. (...) Andrea Gavriliu encourages the actors to explore their possibilities of physical expression and proposes, this time, a concentrated show, in which a chain of fatalistic phrases is rendered through dance. Seven actors, Alexandru Chindriș, Eva Danciu, Roxana Fânață, Pedro Aurelian Gâfei, Flavia Giurgiu, Ciprian Valea, Tavi Voina and the choreographer Mariana Gavriciuc juggle (literally!) with Murphy's laws. Contrary to the saying that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong, the choreographic situations are built on an optimistic note. Because even when the artistic thread derails from the original route - a ball is dropped too soon or too late - things do not get off the rails, but the inspired actor turns the event into a new comic situation."

Elena Coman, Amfiteatru - Murphology. A Choreographic Explanation  

“Eight performers (because it is about the show, but also about performance at the highest level) - Alexandru Chindriș, Eva Danciu, Roxana Fânață, Mariana Gavriciuc, Pedro Aurelian Gâfei, Flavia Giurgiu, Ciprian Valea, Tavi Voina – are building and deconstructing a puzzle made up of lines, gestures, attitudes, pictures and theatrical signs. (...) I am convinced that if Andrea Gavriliu were challenged to a dance marathon, she could sustain it without difficulty. And the main explanation is, of course, the passion, but also an authentic and fertile curiosity, the wisdom, the courage, and the tenderness whereby she looks at the world and tries to tell it to us as well.

This show is a majortriumph (the 16th production of the generous 9G project at NTB), achieved in complicated times (but, according to Murphy, the worst is yet to come; of course you remember the famous "Smile, tomorrow will be worse"). "). Moreover, "M from Murphy" is a kind of ET in the rather dusty landscape of our theatrical orbit. As the premiere took place on the roof of the Bucharest National, I would not have been surprised at all, if at the end a spaceship had landed on the stage of the Amphitheatreand would have taken the eight protagonists, plus Andrea Gavriliu, Alexandru Petre (scenography ) and Cristian Șimon (light design) to their home, respectively back to the future.
