Караджалеана, Bronze sculpture ensemble in front of the National Theater, Romania
The Cart with Harlequins monument consists of 16 bronze sculptures created by Ioan Bolborea, reaching a height of seven meters and weighing over 25 tons.
The monument was inaugurated on December 19, 2010, with the participation of Bucharest's mayor Sorin Oprescu and cultural personalities such as epigrammatist Stefan Cazimir.
The statues represent characters from Ion Luca Caragiale's plays, including Farfuridi, Branzovenescu, and Cetațeanul Turmentat, shaped to resemble famous Romanian actors.
Located at the intersection of major boulevards in central Bucharest, the monument serves as a meeting point and offers visitors insight into Romanian theatrical culture.
Each bronze figure stands over four meters tall and weighs approximately one ton, with the patinated surface creating distinct textures on the sculptures.
