ALEXANDRA PIRICI – ASSOCIATED ARTIST DELICATE INSTRUMENTS HANDLED WITH CARE (RO) ongoing action by: Alexandra Pirici with: Mădălina Dan, Farid Fairuz, Manuel Pelmuș, Alexandra Pirici producer: brut Vienna, The National Dance Center Bucharest, with the support of ERSTE Foundation The work revolves around iconic moments, images or events anchored in our collective memory that four performers evoke for the audience upon request. Visitors are invited to stroll about the theatre space and to come and go as they please. They can select from an offer of performative actions, which, among others, contains Beyonce's "Drunk in love" music video, the dead Ceaușescu couple or Osama bin Laden's killing report. Austrian critic Helmut Ploebst described the work in der Standard as a "real treasure", continuing: "When virtual memories and ephemeral reproductions meet, the perception starts to dance".
ADDA KALEH CONCERT Boiler Club Adda Kaleh is the musical project of Alexandra Pirici, which explores digital sound and visual aesthetics, constructed by the contemporary informational environment. Her debut took place at the 2013 edition of RedBull Music Academy in New York, and Adda Kaleh also recently performed at Sonar festival in Barcelona. "Under her Adda Kaleh guise, Alexandra Pirici formulates hyper current musical environments that perfectly balance commentary, melody and space." (dublab)
PROGRAMME RECOMMENDED BY ALEXANDRA PIRICI
CAN POPULISM BE GLOBAL? lecture and discussion with Nick Srnicek
CORNER.FOTBAL+SOCIETATE – OUR PLACE magazine launch, research centre & discussion (Corina Bucea in dialogue with Olimpia Cluj players)
The question of a collective body is, according to Ernesto Laclau, the most essential task facing the radical left today. This talk will examine the conditions facing the production of a collective body - globally dispersed, riven by sexism, racism, colonialism, and nationalism, and yet at the same time, increasingly united by its proletarian position.
Corner. Fotbal + societate presents movies and documentation about the representation of women in football, on the field and in the stands, as well as a discussion with players from CFF Olimpia Cluj about the context of women's football. THE REPRODUCTIVE BODY POLITIC: TECHNOLOGY, GENDER, COLLECTIVITY lecture and discussion with Helen Hester In this lecture, Helen Hester will unpack the possibilities of a single technology – the Del-Em menstrual extraction device designed by feminists in the 1970s - and will outline the genealogical connections between second wave feminist self-help movements and the emerging technofeminist activisms of today.
ARIADNA`S DANCING FLOOR lecture and discussion with Raluca Voinea Raluca Voinea will attempt a symbolic archaeology of the dancefloor as a platform for the enactment of gender equality, desires, masks and murder. From the Minoan women to Michael Jackson, via Jane Fonda and Grace Jones.
PROSPER CENTER – SOCIAL FICTION The installation incorporates pieces of the Autumn/Winter collection 2015 and a mobile app through which it invites us to imagine a possible future, one that is neither a return to an alleged “pure” nature, neither a techno-capitalist dystopia, but a third option – a more optimistic fiction that needs to be projected in order for it to self-assemble.
THE AGENCY OF TOUCH (RO) one-on-one touch performance by: Mădălina Dan producer: Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz Berlin, project supported by HZT Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin The Agency of Touch is a social intervention utilising touch, bodily/sensorial awareness and connectivity as a social-recreational vehicle for corporeal communication and research within different social, cultural, economic contexts. The practice consists of one-on-one touch-based sessions.
THEATRE
OGRES stage reading
PROVISORY (RO)
by: Yann Verburgh translation: Eugen Jebeleanu, with help from the Beaumarchais-SACD Association.
directed & text by: Raul Coldea and Petro Ionescu with: Cătălin Filip, Diana Nedescu/Oana Mardare, Doru Taloș video: Cosmin Nicoară and Ana Vîjdea producer: Reactor de creaţie și experiment Provisory is a theatre performance focused on the work process, pointing at the theme of the social invisibility. The performance tries to fictionalize and to make visible the histories of those who exist only in the institutions' statistics. Ironic and incisive, Provisory addresses all those who pass by us every day and about whom we choose to know nothing.
Ogres offers a journey at the heart of homophobia, in the world nowadays. From France to Russia, from Uganda to Iran – passing through Bulgaria, South Africa, Cameroun, Greece, Brazil, Romania – the text addresses an overview of a discrimination that excludes socially, that kills directly or indirectly, that exists under all forms, all of which cause pain and suffering.
GHINGA (RO) directors: Valentina Gabor, Leta Popescu, Andrada Lazăr text: Oana Hodade and Valeriu A. Cuc, after the short story A Meeting with the Readers, by Dan Coman with: Doru Taloș, Cristina Bodnărescu, Cătălin Filip, Oana Mardare, Alex Tatu, Boglarka Veligdan, Cristian Vincze and Alin Popan the children: Vlad Morar, Maya Kovács, Mayanna Bartalus, David Chiorean, Mira Naiba, Darie Naiba, Aprilia Pogăcean, Elize Guţan Florian, Ana Petriș, Patricia Șerbănescu, Petra Purja music: Răzvan Krivach scenography: Brîndușa C. Bălan producer: Asociaţia Reciproca & Fabrica de Pensule At the insistence of a teacher from the village of Ilva Mică, the poet Dan Coman agrees to make a visit to the local school for a meeting with fifth grade students. The road from Bistrița to Ilva in an old Dacia and the guest's welcoming "as it should" with bread, brandy and a hearty meal, considerably delays the time of the meeting, which turns out to be a perfectly organised celebration in honor of Romanian contemporary poetry.
PULVÉRISÉS (FR & RO)
YOU HAVEN`T SEEN ANYTHING! (RO)
SHE’S A GOOD BOY (RO)
directed by: Frédéric Fisbach text: Alexandra Badea with: Mădălina Constantin, Eugen Jebeleanu, Frédéric Fisbach stage design: Frédéric Fisbach production: Ensemble Atopique, Festival des Francophonies de Limoges, Théâtre Ouvert, Institut Français de Bucarest, Ville de Cannes, etc.

The performance approaches the subject of our relation to the work place in the context of globalisation. The action takes place in four different countries, and what we see are different fragments in the daily life of four employees with various social statuses and positions. The four characters are united by their work in the same enterprise and the fabrication of a single object: an internet modem.
On March 4, 2014, Daniel-Gabriel Dumitrache, age 26, working as an informal parking attendant in Bucharest Old Town, was beaten to death at the 10th police precinct. For one year, between April 2014 and March 2015, Alexandru Fifea has researched the context and circumstances which led to the murder of Daniel Dumitrache. The performance aims to analyze and deconstruct the social mechanisms and the public discourse behind this murder.

Supported by ERSTE Foundation, Căminul Cultural Ever since childhood, HE thinks of himself as more of a girl than a boy. HE called himself SHE and wore dresses. SHE grew up with this dilemma. At 30, the confusion persists. SHE lives in a village in Maramureș, HE sings traditional music at weddings and in bars. Nothing unusual, except for the fact that in HER ID there is a man’s name.

All goes well, until one day, the father of the family comes on to her.

DANCE
STAFF (NO&RO)
BALANSÉ (Martinique)
by & with: Ingrid Berger Myhre & Andreea David music: Lasse Passage video: Sigurd Ytre-Arne
by: Agnès Dru clarinet: Yann Lecollaire music: AM4 Martinique producer: AD Compagnie, created at P.A.R.T.S. Brussels Financial support : Direction des Affaires Culturelles & la Région Martinique website: www.adcompagnie.com Balansé resumes histories of movement in the single body of choreographer-performer Agnès Dru. Her storytelling body navigates the in-between spaces of multiple cultures and vividly talks to us in the languages of trance, Ladja (a Caribbean form of capoeira from Martinique), modern ballet, hip hop, contemporary dance.
STAFF plays with the nuances between a situation and the language used to describe it, in other words with representation. Naming and re-naming of various actions and gestures develops into a game that speaks about the relativity of language and about how we subjectively project meaning onto what we see.
PERFORMANCE UNTITLED by: Ciprian Mureșan puppeteers: Lucian Rad and Enikő Takács costumes: István Cîmpan puppets: Orsolya Gál producer: David Nolan Gallery, New York and Salonul de proiecte, Bucharest Starting from fragmentary narratives and a text generated from the interaction between a group of children and the two puppeteers, Lucian Rad and Enikő Takács, during the workshops that were the starting point of this performance, Untitled is composed of a series of acts in which various characters and situations are being sketched. The humour and the innocence which accompany these narrative and language improvisations sometimes show a hint of a dark side.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SUNG THE SWEDISH NATIONAL ANTHEM performance for a single male participant concept & performance: Farid Fairuz co-produced by: Solitude Project, German Cultural Centre Timișoara/Performative Arts Festival Timișoara, Căminul Cultural A project supported by ERSTE Foundation You Might as Well Have Sung the Swedish National Anthem brings everything down to human scale and reopens an intimate and comfortable space of dialogue and reflection, finding normality precisely in the midst of a performance which he will tenderly thrust in the surrounding reality.
THE STATE by: Alexander Manuiloff text: Alexander Manuiloff Alexander Manuiloff’s conceptual work, The State, needs neither director nor actors – it turns the audience into co-authors and players of each performance. Based on the case of young Bulgarians who self-immolated in 2013 as an expression of their protest, the text questions how societies constitute themselves via their common values and what is necessary for people to live together in a state.
NUDE OF A BLACK-HAIRED WOMAN
PARENTAL CTRL
by & with: Andreea David
directed by: Ferenc Sinkó created in collaboration with the performers: kata bodoki-halmen, Kinga Ötvös, Krisztina Sipos dramaturg / assistant director: Panna Adorjáni music: bhkata & The Blue Screen Band video, light and sound: Attila Almási technical assistance: Radu Bogdan producer: Kinga Kelemen / GroundFloor Group
For this performance Andreea David worked in a solitary space, in which the only observer was her critical eye, through the camera. In this context, she became the subject of her own aesthetic judgement. By knowing it is watched, the nude body adjust itself immediately. The performance explores the fetishization of the nude female body and its different aspects on the level of the image.
Parental Ctrl is a concert-performance about generation Y and parents, addiction to technology and escaping reality, about the inevitable gap between generations.
FILM YUGOSLAVIA, HOW IDEOLOGY MOVED OUR COLLECTIVE BODY SR by: Marta Popivoda written by: Ana Vujanović, Marta Popivoda edited by: Nataša Damnjanović produced by: TkH [Walking Theory], Belgrade, Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Paris, Universität der Künste Berlin, joon film, Berlin The film deals with the question of how ideology performs itself in public space through mass performances. Going back through the images, the film traces how communist ideology was gradually exhausted through the changing relations between the people, ideology, and the state.
READING & BOOK LAUNCHES MIHAI GOȚIU: FRAIERILOR (LOSERS) public reading and debate Fraierilor (Tact Publishing House, 2015) is a book about civic involvement and about the way through which culture can lead to major mentality changes in a community and, implicitly, to social changes. At the same time, it is an original literary testimony of the author who has directly documented, both as a journalist as well as by active engagement, the cultural actions and social movements in Cluj, Romania, and in the Romanian communities from abroad, for more than a decade. THE END OF DIRECTING, THE BEGINNING OF THEATRE-MAKING AND DEVISING IN EUROPEAN THEATRE book launch with Iulia Popovici Over five essays written by European theoreticians and critics and through a series of interviews with artists as different as Joël Pommerat and Gianina Cărbunariu, Armin Petras/Fritz Kater and Rodrigo García, Bogdan Georgescu and Catinca Drăgănescu, the book investigates the contemporary reality of new theatre-making practices, beyond the all-powerful tradition of stage-directing.
