The shows staged by Victor Gherlac in 1940-1950 corresponded to their time. In the Ștefan Bâtcă show, staged just before the outbreak of the war, the foreboding of the war felt. On the eve of Victory Day, the premiere of the spectacular musical comedy One Night in May took place. The show Under the Chestnuts in Prague, staged in the first post-war years, reflected the contrasting visions relevant at the time. The show The Outlaws staged the struggle of the people against the oppressors (which oppressors?) in 1949. In 1950, in the romantic entertainment of the operetta Trembita, people's hopes for a new, happy life could be felt. Victor Gherlac is the director of several shows, among which it is worth mentioning: the fairy tale The Enchanted Mace, the musical comedies Mărioara’s Happiness and Ileana’Carpet, the musicalchoreographic enchantment, the satire Sânziana and Pepelea, the musical drama The Turbulent Danube, the poetic musical-choreographic show Ovidiu, the psychological musical show The man and the wolf, the dramatic show For the family home, Motherin-law with three daughters-in-law, permeated by the inner musicality of Moldovan folk art filled with Moldovan folk melodies, songs, dances.
