An Homage

Many of our most beloved actors have died lately, at an age which would have allowed them to give their spectators many beautiful performances.
But yesterday, one of the greatest actors, a former head of the National Theater, a writer and an anchor of the Romanian theater, Radu Beligan, turned 90.
He celebrated his birthday by rehearsing for a new play, learning a new part. When asked why, he quoted Socrates, who was once asked why he was learning how to play the lyre as he was near death. His answer was : so that I am able to play before I die.
A humble bow.
