About the show Heritage in the Spotlight For You

The performance will be realized in partnership with Magnum Dance Sport Team and Fundația Pentru Voi, is part of the project "Happenings and performances for Timisoara's heritage" of the University Politehnica Timișoara, is part of the National Cultural Programme "Timișoara - European Capital of Culture in 2023" and is funded by the Inside Timișoara 2023 programme, run by the Project Centre of the Municipality of Timișoara, with funds allocated from the state budget, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture.

The show follows the diversity of the cultural-linguistic communities in Timișoara and the dynamics of daily life in the four historic districts of Timișoara (Iosefin, Fabric, Elisabetin and Cetate), illustrated through the parallel worlds of the four women: the world of Valerie Pintea in the Iosefin district, through Liana Maria Gomboșiu's novel. World Elsei Kornis and worlds in destinies in the Fabric district, reflected in the interviews from the archive of the Oral History and Cultural Anthropology Group, founded and coordinated by Mrs. Smaranda Vultur. 

We also follow the world hidden in a chest of Netti Diel from the Elisabetin district, through Piei Brînzeu's family diary and the mirrored world of Marianei Klein, married Șora, from the interview conducted by Smaranda Vultur in Baile Herculane in 2001. Augmented reality elements and archival images of iconic buildings enrich the discovery through dance of everyday life in these historic districts of the town on the Bega.  

The performances that will take place are based on the experience, dramaturgy and partly choreography performed in the 4 outdoor shows in partnership between UPT and Magnum Team in 2022. The event will benefit from dedicated dramaturgy, set design, choreography, videography and will bring together actresses in the main female roles, 10 young dancers from the Magnum Team and 6 children dancers. 

It will mix the interventions of professionals Raul Avram and Diana Avram with those of Oana Antonovici, together with young amateur dancers and children who are learning their first steps of dance and stage movement.
