It was labeled, by elder critics, as being \u201eoutrageous\u201d, \u201eobscene\u201d, \u201evulgar\u201d. At the same time the play has been widely acknowledged by theatre professionals, who saw it as a rebirth of new Romanian playwriting. The text deals with language, Romanian (and global) hypocrisy, and a form of updated, post-modern existentialism in a hyper ironic way, that\u2019s both challenging and guilty pleasure fun. Nevertheless, the play is an unconventional plea for happiness. For six years it was a taboo to stage this play in Romania, although it won one of the most important new playwriting awards (dramAcum, 2002) and was presented in highly acknowledged festivals such as The New Writing Bienalle in Wiesbaden, Germany (2006). In 2008 the MONDAY Theatre @ Green Hours (Bucharest) dared to produce it, under the stage direction of the author himself. Ever since, the show has been a sold out hit, in its\u2019 Romanian version. In 2011 Peca, an internationally acclaimed playwright (Juilliard Finalist 2010, one of the 5 Authors in the Berliner Stuckemarkt 2010 (Germany), Winner of Heidelberg\u2019s Stuckemarkt Innovation Award 20007 (Germany)), has rewritten the play so we can share the performance with international audiences (both in Bucharest and abroad). Nils\u2019 Fucked Up Day (the new English title) is now a mix of Romanian and English, powered by one of the best VJ\u2019s in Romania (Cinty) combining multimedia, interactivity and a very inciting way to look at the world and its stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>Teatrul LUNI de la Green Hours (MONDAY Theatre @ Green Hours) is probably THE place to go if you want to see the most exciting indie\/off theatre productions in Romania. With a non-stop season since 1997 \u2013 the MONDAY Theatre debuted some of the best young actors, directors, stage designers and playwrights in the new wave of Romanian theatre. After presenting two very successful plays by Peca \u015etefan in FringeNYC\u2019 07 (The Sunshine Play and Bucharest Calling), the company returns for the 2011 edition of the International New York Fringe Festival with \u201cNils\u2019 Fucked Up Day\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The cast includes some of the best young actors in Bucharest, in the tradition of the MONDAY Theatre. Some of them have been in the films of the new wave in Romanian cinema \u2013 so now you can see them live on stage in New York. We are very happy to have the support of the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York (http:\/\/www.icrny.org) \u2013 who made our participation in this year\u2019s Fringe festival possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We are waiting for you in August for a sample of Ro-English at Dixon Place, New York City.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P.S.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make a highly appreciate contribution to support our Bucharest actors\u2019 stay in NYC here:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/Help-the-cast-of-Nils-Fucked-Up-Day-go-to-FringeNYC11 .
