For the young people, Florian Pittis organized shows at Bulandra Theatre. They were called ? The Poetry of young music?. ( ?PMT?). Besides Pittis, there were other reciting poetry: Irina Petrescu, Mariana Buruiana, Marcel Iures, and others. Pittis generally told the story of the Beatles, illustrating it with slides and evidently with their music (recorded) and poetry recited by the above mentioned actors. The public was constant, made up of teenagers and young people. They came in jeans, trainers, they wore long hair. The music, as I said, was recorded. It was Romanian music as well, for instance, ?Iris? group, singing ? Train with no money? about those travelling by train without a ticket, an attitude which wasn?t typical of the Communist Youth Organization.  We listened to the song ? Blowing in the wind? by Bob Dylan, in a translation into Romanian, told by the same Pittis.

The poetry was written by Romulus Vulpescu, Adrian Dohotaru, Nichita Stanescu.

The atmosphere was extraordinary, unconventional: you sat right on the floor, on the scene, the public sang together, you clapped your hands keeping the tact. You felt free. (P. P., 71)

Sunday Morning, at the Opera, there were concerts with fragments of music especially chosen for pupils. The same thing happened at the Athenaeum, with lighter pieces, or composed by children and young people. I remember I saw the opera ? The little chimney sweeper? by Benjamin Britten. It was nice, you felt you were getting cultural. (P. P., 71)

There were shows at the Polyvalent Concert Hall , pop music shows, I remember I have been to Savoy. There were folk music shows, as well. All the singers came to Polyvalent Concert Hall. Irina Loghin, Dolanescu, Laura Lavric, Sofia Vicoveanca. (A. V., 174)

At the music hall, the actresses used to wear glass pullovers under the low cut dresses and at the Athenaeum, there were concerts where the public had to wear winter coats and the piano player had an electric boiling ring at his feet. (111)

SLOGAN

An important factor of communist propaganda. There were several sorts of slogans. The universal ones, like ?May the Romanian-Soviet friendship last for ever!? or ?Long live the Romanian Communist Party!? and the circumstantial ones: ?Glory to August 23rd!? or ?Glory to May 1st!?
