In 2012 we celebrated 100 years since the death of Ion Luca Caragiale, the most famous Romanian playwright.
To mark this event, Enel (one of the electricity suppliers) painted a power transformer house in the town center, with characters of Caragiale's work.
What is the connection between an electricity supplier and Caragiale ?! They both had a premiere at the same time. In 1885, at the premiere of the play "Of the Carnival" by Caragiale, the National Theater in Bucharest was electric lighting for the first time, becoming the third theater in Europe with electric lighting.

Ion Luca Caragiale (1852 – 1912) was a Romanian playwright, short story writer, poet, theater manager, political commentator and journalist. Leaving behind an important cultural legacy, he is considered one of the greatest playwrights in Romanian language and literature, as well as one of its most important writers and a leading representative of local humor.
Caragiale's "Of the Carnival" is a lighter satire of suburban morals and amorous misadventures.
In the inscription below, using a pun, Enel makes the connection between the Caragiale's plays and the energy they transmit. His plays electrify us with their humour.
Painting transformer was a good idea to mark this celebration. It draws attention to the event, beautifying a technical building.
