Ars Amatoria
In 1986, while "Ars Amatoria" was touring Bucharest with an adaptation of Ion Luca Caragiale's plays, Pascu met and befriended members of the comedic ensemble and student group "Divertis", which performed subtle political satire against Nicolae Ceauşescu's communist rule. Pascu had been a "Divertis" fan since 1982 and recalled, "I met with the "Divertis" boys after a show. They liked me [and] asked me to join the group". His first performance with "Divertis" took place in 1987, at Izvoru Mureşului resort in Harghita County. Pascu resumed his musical career, and also in 1987, was invited by Partoş to sing at a summer festival in Deva.
