We are waiting for you at the show 'The Evening Star Within Us'. It is a theatrical show of poetry, music, and dance. I am the actress, director, producer, and organizer of this show and I have the honor and joy of giving the audience the show full of sensitivity "The Evening Star Within Us". It is MIHAI EMINESCU. It is ours, all of us. "The Evening Star Within Us" is a show of LOVE between the sacred and the profane revealed from Eminescu's work through word, emotion, music, and dance. The show is an open window to love, spirit, and the Divine.
This unique show through content, expression, and scenic transfiguration is wearing a new guise today. The show was presented to the young and adult audience in 2014-2015 for the first time at the Constanța State Theater, enjoying great success.
In 2026 I proposed to bring back into the spotlight "The Evening Star Within Us" on the Tomitan stage, and then also in the country within a cultural project.
I, the actress Luiza Sarivan, together with the dancers Raluca Pleșca and Claudiu Daniel Popa, form a whole that pulsates through the music of Eminescu's poetry and prose. I am convinced that the fabulous Eminescu prose, the masterpiece "The Evening Star", other poems and moments will touch space, time and spirit with the lace of the show.
The plan of the word intertwines with the plan of the dance, manifesting the love between the sacred and the profane from Eminescu's work, giving it to the spectator for breath. A world opens for the world towards the world as Eminescu lived it, dreaming of its illumination. Spiritually speaking, the food of the soul is neglected today, man rushing through irrelevant time. That is why, through the moment of the performance, we let the soul speak to us. Young people need the support of cultural pillars. The appreciation of previous performances has made me go further and for other generations, the current ones. Relevant is this line: "Now we have understood "Luceafarul"." Especially since this masterpiece is a subject of the BACALAUREAT (Romanian high school graduation exam). Children, students, adolescents need images, situations, emotions and states that reach their minds and souls. The theater manages through its grace to touch man through the reciprocity of the act of receiving-giving. It is the miraculous connection that the theater creates now-here, then remaining only the seed from the breeze of the scenic message. This is precisely the message of this show. It expresses the message of the ephemeral and not only. It expresses everything that man lives in this life and may not realize how rich he is in his soul.
With esteem and respect,
Luiza Sarivan
Luiza Sarivan: I am an actress. I graduated from the Bucharest Theater and Film Academy, class of Ion Cojar and Adriana Popovici. I have served and continue to serve THE THEATER STAGE. It is the miraculous place where I meet myself, transfiguring creation through the wonderful Divine grace.
The State Theater Stage of Constanța was the place where for 20 years I played memorable roles in remarkable plays. My inner fan being ample in the diversity of nuances from drama to comedy, I also served the "Fantasio" Theater stage. And so life led my steps to other theaters in the country.
I love this show and CREATION for me is the very Divine within me.
With love,
Luiza Sarivan

I have a degree from the "Ovidius" University, specializing in performing arts - choreography. I am currently pursuing master's studies in the art of the music-hall actor.
With love,
Raluca Pleșca

Our collaboration, mine and Raluca's, began during college and flourished over the course of the 5 years in which we choreographed together shows such as: "A step, a verse, a song", "Vintage", "Sounds, shapes, frames" and other shows within the faculty.
"Luceafarul in us" represents another opportunity in which we can put our mark on choreography and dance. We hope to sensitize you through our movements and interpretations. A performance full of emotions through the LOVE OF LUCEAFARUL. completed by a splash of color of the profane.
Thus, we invite you to take part in the JOURNEY OF THE SOUL TOWARDS INNER LIGHT.
With love.
