"Back in 1991, I received as gift for my birthday, a fairy-tale book. It was called "The Lost Birthday", by Donald Bisset. From that day I started to write stories. In high-school I was reading Noica during french classes. Then, there were 4 years of philosophy. One year in which I was teaching. The pleasure to form someone without teaching. Philosophy also it's a story. An initiation story."
"I was writing about drama. I wanted to give stories to people. To gather them around me. Drama staging gave me a chaos that I had to put it in an order. I was writing poems wherever I could. It's hard to keep the balance between these two. I had poems published in respectable magazines, such as Timpul, Tomis, Tiuk, Viaţa romînească, Tribuna, Dacia literară, Helikon, Familia, to name a few."
AN OFF-STAGE PEEK INTO THE LIFE OF MEDEEA IANCU Life's motto: dream! This year debut: The Divine Tragedy. Favorite Recipe: mushroom soup. The taste I couldn’t live without: sweet-sourish. Favorite place I’ve ever travelled: Paris. What feelings/emotions make you mad: the ignorance, the flattery, the hypocrisy. The best thing(s) about poetry: it challenges you, it throws obstacles in your way, it lets you dream, it reflects you, it doesn't have faults, it plays with you, talks about anything without being shamed, it mellows you. The best thing(s) about theatre: it seduces, it carries you in hidden rooms, and there you're together with your characters, it lets you create lives, it lets you change, see and build multiple universes. It makes from chaos order. It gives hope. WHAT LIBERTY ATE, issue #3, 2012 69
