She’s a Good Boy
Calendar
Ever since childhood, HE thinks of himself as more of a girl than a boy. HE called himself SHE and wore dresses. SHE grew up with this dilemma. At 30, the confusion persists. SHE lives in a village in Maramureș, HE sings traditional music at weddings and in bars. Nothing unusual, except for the fact that in HER ID there is a man’s name. SHE seems to be completely accepted by the community. Even more, the villagers are happy that Romania has finally become part of EU, this way, perhaps, SHE could also get married.

About the artists
Compagnie 28 was born on June 28th 2010. Since it was founded, it produced 9 performances: four in France („Sacha, Guillaume et moi” – 2010, „Canin Felin” in 2011-2012, „Isadora-theatrical exhibition” in 2011-2013, ”the day after tomorrow.the day before yesterday” -2011) and five in Romania („Small Romanian fictions”- 2012, coproduction: LUNI Theatre from Green Hours & Compagnie 28, „dontcrybaby” – 2012, coproduction: LUNI Theatre from Green Hours & Compagnie 28, „ALB (white dress code)” – 2013, RETOX – coproduction with Unteatru Bucharest – and HOTEL – coproduction Compagnie 28, Unteatru Theatre and ColectivA Cluj). For more than five years, Compagnie 28 brings to the stage stories about political and social subjects, in order to give a voice to anonymous individuals, to non-heroes who don’t belong to the majority and don’t adhere to “the dominant culture”. The theatre they propose is open to minority voices, to the marginals, to rebellions against those systems that censor initiatives that assert the freedom of expression.
