Gheorghe Dinich “The Great Loner”the volume was published in 2023 under the signature of Ion Moldovan at the Cluj publishing house Transylvanian echo – the fourth book dedicated to the great actor. It comes after those dedicated to him by the excellent theater critic Constantin Paraskivescu (Gheorghe Dinica is a histrion with a long career), see Dan Liviu Boerescu (Gheorghe Dinich and the legend of the red snake) and Mia Pedurean (Actor for eternity). The current one is mainly based on interviews with great personalities of Romanian culture. Who not only had the opportunity to know him, was a colleague of the great actor in college, on stage, filming or recording for the radio theater, but also really has something to say about Gheorghe Dinich.

The volume begins with a conversation with Mrs. Gabriela Dinicha, a reserved and intelligent wife endowed with exemplary common sense, who obviously knows what, how and how much to say about the person who was her partner, and continues the interview. with artists of different generations. From the minor Constantin Dinulescu to Simona Bondok, Dorina Lazar, Adela Merculescu, Coca Blos, Ioana Pavelescu, Virginia Rogin and Ovidiu Kunzea. They are accompanied by a very interesting conversation with director Nicolae Marginianu, who unearths memories and tells essential things about how the film was made. explosion for which His Eminence was the cinematographer and film critic Iryna Margareta Nistor.

All of them provide countless arguments in favor of the essential seriousness of the actor. Nothing, neither the preparation of the role, nor its stage transposition night after night, nor the filming, nor the takes, which sometimes had to be repeated, were devoid of superficiality, lekhamites, irritation of the actor. Nothing was a burden for Gheorghe Dinić. On the stage or on the set, Gheorghe Dinica did not recognize an inhibitory advantage, he did not accept the attitude that everything belongs to me because I am big. The testimony of the youngest of those interviewed, actor Ovidiu Kuncha, is relevant in this sense.

The main advantages of Ion Moldovan’s book seem to me to be two. First, he presents Gheorghe Dinica mainly as a very good theater actor. What turned out to be so, starting with the performances of the first ten years of his career, in the vanguard of the legendary Shadow, Ramo’s Nephew, Rhinoceros, Troilus and Cressida, Duckhead by the end of. How they were Night Shelter, Take, Yanke and Kadir, The Last Hour. In the Comedy Theater, on the street Bulandra, in the Maly Theater, st OdeumGheorghe Dinica played the memorable roles of directors David Esrig, Rada Penciulescu, Ion Kojar, Chorea Popescu, Sanda Manu, Liviu Chulei, Catalina Buzoianu, Mihai Manyuciu. He was a regular visitor to the radio theater, appearing in several productions TV theater. From his good old days. When the directors signed Ion Barna, Petre Sava Baliana, Nikolaye Motrych, Dina Chernescu, Letitia Popa. Of course, roles in films, many of which are anthology films, are not forgotten.

The second merit is that Gheorghe Dinica. “The great loner…” undermines, thanks to the interviews it contains, such legends as that Diniča would be difficult, unsympathetic, gloomy, unapproachable. It was, it was, as the title of the book says, great loner, when he had to be, he was also wonderfully cheerful, sociable, full of spirit. When it was necessary and with whom it was necessary.

The book has a large part Appendices. We find in them the roles of an actor in cinema, theater, radio and various televisions.

2. Wonderful actors of the Radio Theater

Once upon a time, or rather in 2020, in the context of anniversary events related to the completion of a number of years since the day of creation of the eternally young Theater Ion Kryanga, Ion Moldovan invites Alexandrina Halych to a dialogue. Undoubtedly, the actress is the emblem of the institution. Thus was born the volume The story of the actress in which the heroine shared with us the most important moments of her professional development. He performed both on the stage of the Jubilee Theater and in other theaters, as well as on radio and television. In the last places, especially at the time when in what is called today schedule grid there was a stable number of performances dedicated to the younger generation.

Or, as it is called today Romanian Broadcasting Society he still hasn’t forgotten those who were there at the time of the first steps in life, that’s how things go on increasingly lonely and troubled Romanian television. Who no longer knows how to arrange performances for children and teenagers, who has not been engaged in staging theatrical performances for a long time, who, in terms of entertainment, lives on what is found in the archive. TVR has forgotten that it used to produce more than just celebrities 1001 evening, as well as series with Captain Val Varthei, i.e. with high-class actors such as Nicolae Gerdescu, Tudorel Popa, Septimiu Sever or Dem Savu, and Kosmin, Son of the bison headlined by Florin Pirsic, a show with Ashiuce and Daniela Anenkov, or a show by Ion Lucian or Alek Popovich. That he had editors, directors and specialized directors such as Erika Petrusha, Tetiana Cireteanu or Eugène Patrice. All TVR no longer produces, as I said, even TV theater shows, contenting itself with providing from the archive the former works of great actors coordinated by hired directors such as Petre Sava Balianu, Ion Barna, Nikolae Motrich, Cornel Todea, Cornel Popa, Letizia Popa, Eugen Todoran, Domnica Munteanu, Titi Ax, Olympia Argir, as well as collaborators such as Lucian Pintilier, Andrii Sherban, Catalina Buzoianu, Dina Chernescu and many, many others. Some of them were trained directly in Moliere’s workshops or, a little further, in Calea Dorobantilor 191. _
