Synopsis: A show inspired by tradition but aiming at contemporary patterns and situations, bringing many surprises. Matei Millo was the actor who introduced the tradition of travesti acting for the role of Chirița. Ada Milea took over this technique but in a surprising new form. Chirița has whimsical ideas and is determined to stay trendy with all innovations. She is surprisingly seductive, charismatic, and, of course, passionate and fiery, ready to “eat fire” for the sake of her priceless offspring: Guliță, the “bearded child,” Aristița and Calipsița, “little girls, fallen from the stars,” Luluța, spectacularly crazy, and the entire entourage from the famous play.
