HUEVOS CONGELADOS is a play by Rucsandra Pop, former Fulbright Researcher, that tackles a taboo topic in Romania – infertility. More about the play in Rucsandra's words: "HUEVOS CONGELADOS was born from the encounter I had with two total strangers in an airplane taking me from Miami to Dallas, during my Fulbright year. These two ladies offered me their life stories, anxieties and problems and have projected upon me their greatest suffering – the fact that they had no children. One of them had very low chances to become a mother, as she was over 50. This invasive encounter made me dig into my own anxieties. I was already 35, I had no children and no plans to have any. When I got off the airplane I knew that I would write a play having as a starting point this experience. This delicate topic – infertility – is a universal one and I was fascinated when I understood that in Romania this topic is discussed only with the closest friends, while in an open culture, like the USA, you can have a conversation on this topic even with strangers". Rucsandra studied at Indiana University in 2011-2012. This is her forth play being showcased in Romania.
