“My body is my only pet.
I take care of her, I feed her, but I haven’t yet managed to speak to her.
A friend from Canada has told me recently that she could.
I honestly envied her, especially when I decided to shrug off all the excuses and start running. This stinker habit which gets you out from the house in any weather…”
(Ana Maria Sandu, Run)

Silvia Călin about “Run” :Each time when I read a text which leaves some traces in my DNA, I start almost reflexively an exercise through which I imagine how a dance piece would look like. Most of the word remains somewhere inside me and outside emerge only images, pulses, fragments of text…After I received Ana Maria Sandu’s book, “Run”, from the actress Nicoleta Lefter and read it, I thought that the first thing that I have to do is not to damage the text- a text that I like so much, and to fully valorize such a great actor. So, my challenge with this piece was to find the balance between word, movement and image.
