Romania’s Post-Communist Party Paradise | Big Night Out

Подробнее о видео

Ever since Romania overthrew the Ceaușescu regime in 1989, the southeastern European country has become a partying hotspot. In 2016, Clive Martin headed there to investigate two party scenes for VICE TV UK’s Big Night Out series.

Both were centred around beaches on the Black Sea but were founded on contradicting values. At the first, a hippy retreat turned party town called Vama Veche, he explores the roots of a tradition involving listening to Bolero music whilst watching the sunrise at 6AM.

At the second, an Ibiza-inspired shufflefest called Mamaia Beach, he is flanked by PR staff forcefully extolling the virtues of commercial clubbing in Romania. Despite occupying alternate slices of the partying ecosystem, they’re both a product of the new-found freedom created by the post-communist era.

Right now the party animals are making the most of it, but will it eventually come at a cost?
