Amphitryon, a French comedy, consisting of a prologue and 3 acts, was written by Molière in 1668 (and translated into Romanian by Victor Eftimiu and Petru Manoliu in verse). Since then, the name Amphitryon has come to be used in the sense of “good, generous host”; in Spanish the word used for “host” is “anfitrión” and in Portuguese, “anfitrião”. The play is based on the story of the Greek mythological character Amphitryon brought on the stage of the Cluj-Napoca National Theatre in an intriguing manner: Jupiter (played by Ionuț Caras), the supreme god, used to satisfy his erotic desires by any means, takes the form of Amphitryon (Matei Rotaru) in order to seduce his beautiful wife, Alcmena (Sânziana Tarța).
