Nicoleta Esinencu
Nicoleta Esinencu (1978, Chișinău, USSR/Republic of Moldova) lives and works as a writer and director in Chișinău. Her discussed theater projects address the social reality of the Republic of Moldova and the contradictions of the post-Soviet era from the critical point of view of pan-European history.
After a scholarship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, she became internationally known with “FUCK YOU, Eu.ro.Pa!” and won the Romanian theater prize “dramAcum”. The text was published in 2005 in the reader of the Romanian Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale. Esinencu has been a frequent guest at the Leipzig Book Fair and the Berlin International Literature Festival. In 2009 she was invited by the Goethe-Institut to participate as one of 16 playwrights in the project “After the Fall - Europa nach 1989”.
In 2010, Esinencu co-founded the independent initiative teatru-spălătorie, which arose from the need to create an alternative artistic space in Chișinău where artists could respond to the political and social developments in the Republic of Moldova. Since the venue had to close in 2017, the women's teatru-spălătorie collective has continued its work without a stage ever since. HAU Hebbel am Ufer maintains an ongoing collaboration with Nicoleta Esinencu and teatru-spălătorie.

Festival Teatro a Mil 2025 presents a piece created in Moldova. Through interviews and personal accounts, Nicoleta Esinencu and the Teatru-spălătorie Collective create a new archive that gives Eastern European voices a chance to be heard.
In Moldova, as everywhere else, the conquest of the capitalist system and technological progress have changed everything in the last decades. The notion of the future as a community project, which promised a good life for all, has become a distant memory.
Today we live in a world in which there is less togetherness and more of an exploited, alienated and stressed self. The system wants us to work tirelessly and never sleep. The second part of the trilogy “Symphony of Progress” claims the right to tell the story of the East, by the East, as well as the right to re-imagine an alternative to capitalism.
