Theatre critiques about his performances:

‘’Convincing is also Marius Călugăriţa – „Iosale” (effigy of lack of personality and sexual instinct’s pressure), whose fault is not forgiven by late regrets’’ (about Efros Diansty, by  Natalia Stancu, The Jewish Reality, 2009)

‘’ Words of appreciation deserves the puppeteer’s team – Marius Călugărița (…)dances with verve,  involves in suggestion the relations between characters.  se Actors find support also in the fantastic music created by  Yves Chamberland, music that follows all the time the performance, becoming a character itself. ‘’ (about ‘’The Pupeteer’’, by Ileana Lucaciu, 2010)

‘’The group of young performers enhances energy and humor by the saraband gags. Some rely on good faith and purity, unfair and grossly misinterpreted by the public: Hoizik (Marius Călugăriţa)‘’ (about ‘’Wise Men of Chelm’’, by Natalia Stancu, The Jewish Reality, 2010)

‘’Marius Călugăriţa adds to the realistic interpretation elements of pantomime, destinated to show, consistently, the absurd, presented only in the end .’’(about ‘’The beautiful trip of Panda bears, told by a saxophonist who has a girlfriend in Frankfurt’’ by Daria Dimiu, Theatre Today, 2011)‘
