Boris Focsa said that they don’t know yet if Luceafarul will participate in international festivals. “The crisis has affected us too. We will have national tours. The authorities promised they will organize a tour for us in Moscow in November so that we could improve our situation. We cannot promise many premieres as we do not have funds. The payment of salaries to actors is a major problem. It is also hard to maintain the repertoire,” he said.
