Rock Monsters Romania

Starting this spring, Cozerie cu Ruxandra becomes a traveling event, with each edition taking place in a different venue, in partnership with communities and places we admire.

This edition of the Cozerie cu Ruxandra series is organized together with reading corner, a community of young people, especially from Generation Z, who reinterpret the classic idea of a book club. reading corner brings reading into unconventional spaces, from cafés and galleries to cinemas and cultural venues. The invitation to this edition is open to everyone, and the mix of generations will be part of its charm.

The event will take place indoors.

Guest of the evening: Andreea Vîlcu, freelance journalist and host of the podcast Prea Sărac

Andreea Vîlcu is a freelance journalist and the host of Prea Sărac (“Too Poor”), an audio series about how we live with too little, launched in the autumn of 2025. The episodes focus on people who have experienced at least one side of precarity: parents who made financial choices they now regret, children still repairing the consequences of their parents’ mistakes, mothers who have worked seven days a week for ten years straight, and artists who found success but still have not healed from the bitterness and shame of having been poor.

About Cozerie cu Ruxandra

Cozerie cu Ruxandra is a series of gatherings in places we can (re)discover together, in the company of people whose stories inspire. The format is simple: a one-hour live conversation with different guests, starting from music and sound and moving through the experiences that define their lives, followed by questions from the audience. At the end, anyone who wishes can stay for a drink and conversation, accompanied by a playlist curated by the guest.
