PALLIATIVE has opened the third edition of the Independent Theater Festival (FITIC) 2018, and the text, which belongs to the playwright Radu Popescu, was awarded at FITIC 2017. In fact, Paliativ is the first text of Radu Popescu staged on a repertory theater. Through this approach, the Constanța State Theater offers a chance to talented young people from the independent system to confirm themselves on a professional stage. "Palliative" tells the story of a deeply corrupt system, in which doctors, nurses and patients intertwine their dramas, frustrations and lives. It is an authentic and painful story, but with comic accents in some places, just like in life. The playwright Radu Popescu depicts a world that oscillates between humanity and dehumanization. The dictionary meanings of the word PALIATIVE are as follows: 1. A drug or treatment that relieves or eliminates the symptoms of a disease for a short time, without suppressing its cause. 2. Figurative: Solution or measure that temporarily or apparently solves a difficult situation.
