The Elisabetin neighborhood in different stages of the past, under the spotlight of Timisoara
The third dance show, which took place on October 21 at Cinema Victoria Timișoara, brought the image of the Elisabetin neighborhood in different stages of the past, under the spotlight, with three female characters at its center: Netti - Timișoara between the wars, Carla - Timișoara in the years of communism and Pia - post-December Timișoara.
The show was played by the Magnum Team Sports Dance Club, in collaboration with the Politehnica University of Timișoara and the National Museum of Banat and is part of the series of events dedicated to the cultural program Timișoara 2023 European Cultural Capital, held within the project "Spotlighting Timisoara's Heritage through Dance / Discover Timișoara's heritage through dance steps", project co-financed by the Timișoara City Hall through the Project Center.
The exhibition "Spotlight Heritage Timișoara. The Elisabetin neighborhood and Netti Dr. Diel – A world in a chest”, organized by the National Museum of Banat and the Politehnica University of Timișoara in 2020, which was based on the manuscript Family diary of Prof. Dr. Pia Brînzeu, was the point starting point of this show.
The dance moments describe the story of three women, all living in very different historical eras: Timișoara between the wars (Netti), Timișoara during the years of communism (Carla) and Timișoara post-December (Pia) and use digital technology and elements of augmented reality, components made by polytechnic students, involved with the "Spotlight Heritage Timisoara" project.
