Influences
The contemporary dance performance "Influences" aims to explore the journey each person undertakes to discover their own identity. This initiatory path is essential for the discovery and formation of one's personality, involving obstacles and experiences meant to lead to maturity. It is a personal and individual journey, yet it may be connected to the path traveled by our ancestors.
Other themes of the performance include death, time, affection, and playfulness, which contribute to creating multiple choreographic layers interconnected through the motif of the journey. An archaic universe is created, with an atmosphere from a suspended time, where the way of life is in direct connection with nature. This explains the presence of wheat as a scenographic element, allowing for both the shaping of the atmosphere and the highlighting of the idea of the path that the characters follow.
The characters use wheat metaphorically to construct the image of the road and to refer to both their origin and the meaning they seek. The performance "Influences" intends to speak about achieving maturity and discovering one's own identity through an initiatory journey, using a distinct stylistic approach and a choreographic language born from the meeting between the folklore of minorities and contemporary dance.
The performance is part of the cultural project "Confluences", co-financed by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund, Session I/2023.
Partners: Timiș County Youth Foundation (F.I.T.T.), National Museum of Banat, German Cultural Center, Bastion Varbastya Association, Iulius Town, Jewish Community of Timișoara, Pro-Europe Roma Party Association
