L'Art d'aimer
In 1984, Pascu moved to Cluj-Napoca, and was admitted into the Cluj University Faculty of Letters, studying Romanian and Spanish. He had applied for the similar faculty at the University of Bucharest twice, but failed the entry exam. Soon after admission, he joined the university's theatrical company "Ars Amatoria şi Fiii", mentored by literary critic Ion Vartic. He performed radio comedy and parody theater during this time, and was involved in Vartic's "Echinox" literary club. Pascu continued his interest in sports, particularly soccer, and was a noted fan of the college soccer team FC Universitatea Cluj.
