Do you remember?

Do you remember the theater? When the lobby was slowly filled in the winter with the smell of wet coats that were delivered to the lady of the wardrobe and how we greeted each other under our breath? We shook hands and introduced the partner among the artists, throwing rumuza all delicacy? Do you remember? Were we mentioning under our breath the names of the artists of the night who were the reason for our arrival? So beautiful. That's how we whispered into the cherry blossom hall in the semi-darkness to find the queue and the lucky chair that was waiting for us.

-Here, sir- pleaded the employee of the hall with a flashlight.

Do you remember? Do you remember row seven? The queue of invited artists, how long did we watch with admiration and curiosity? The big ones. The magical ones that used to make us dream, remember?

And when the lights went out? Oh, when the lights went out. Magic had descended to earth. So, the heavy velvet curtain opened slowly and…. no chance.... it snowed on stage, yes, snow. Do you remember? The time when the woman squeezed your arm more and slowly said "it started"... and you felt the scent of her breath as if coming from the depth of the stage...

Oh god! Do you remember? I believe you remember when the stage rotated and the actors appeared in a ray of light and when the flute was heard in the background...?

Eh..! The theater.

Do you remember? Theater is called theater, not copy. The real theater where the actor at the end cried or sweated among the bunch of flowers that the audience gave him, the theater where the director and the staff bowed to the ground, the theater where the applause ended until the hall was empty and we went back to the wet coats of the counter. Do you remember?

You remember when the doors were opened and it was snowing outside and a plume of steam came out of the door or a feeling of a miracle that only the theater could create. The real theater, the original one. The theater.
