Summary/Abstract: The theatre of Oradea organizes its festival HolnapUtán (Day after tomorrow) annually. This year’s program included Attila Vidnyánszky Jr.’s As You Like It, staged with the drama students of the Budapest University of Theatre. For Gábor Beretvás, this was one of the most outstanding performances of the festival. His analysis emphasizes as a valuable feature of the production that it invokes the cinematic, musical, and online media popular with the current youth. He also draws parallels with some Romanian theatre directors. Radu Afrim uses a similar theatrical toolkit, but the elements of the popular culture​ of a previous time, while the performances of Silviu Purcărete show the influence of fine art.
