This article, essentially a book review combined with a rehearsal journal, is focused on a project that brings to the forefront a current and yet under-publicised topic within Romania. The production Stai jos sau cazi / Sit Down or You'll Fall by Bogdan Munteanu, along with the accompanying volume "Culisele creierului – Epilepsia. Narrative Perspectives,"forms a diptych. In this, a theatrically oriented cultural work is spotlighted concurrently with its complementary publication, highlighting its debut. The two facets — the theatrical and the literary-journalistic — are part of an important endeavour to acquaint the broader audience with a neurological disorder, traditionally approached with caution.
