Persian love, the closing event of the exhibition of Maiastra-the untold story of the Romanian blouse it might have been a surprise for the public. Following a script by Rodica mandache, after an ideea of Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi, the show brought together three Romanian artists and an Iranian musician. Four youngsters revealed to the audience how close we are with each other. This happens because we have a symbolic comun code present in the ancient culture of our cultures, a solar culture, tributary to the Mithraism.
