Written on the note of magical realism, Matilda and the Grave-makers by Stela Giurgeanu - "The Play of the Year 2018" at the Uniter Gala - is a psychological survey in the life stories of three women for whom sacrifice represents a form of existence.

The dramatic writing of Stela Giurgeanu breaks the conventional and invites to the decryption of the common things, of the sentences with subtext, of hidden thoughts and, above all, to the separation of the fantastic from the reality. The kaleidoscopic interplay of situations, the mixture of elements and strange visions, the dialogues, at times, of an absurd and grotesque humour, give birth to a tasteful dark comedy.

A show ‒ pleading for the freedom of women so powerful in all their frailty. A text about a generation that buried their demons to give the next generation the right to happiness.
