After graduating from the University of Craiova, Arts Department (bachelor’s and master’s studies), Costinela Ungureanu has been an actress at the Marin Sorescu National Theatre, since 2016.

She has succeeded to create convincing and very expressive characters in a range of different performances of improvisation, dance-theatre, pantomime, operetta, and street dance, even rediscovering Bacovia, in a unique choreographic way.
She collaborated with the ”Jean Bart” Theatre in Tulcea and Romanian Opera in Craiova, and, in the current season, she plays in the Craiova National Theatre’s most recent premiere, the frothy comedy TOC TOC by Laurent Baffie, directed by Alexandru Boureanu and Raluca Păun.
