In the past few years, whenever I go somewhere abroad, I cannot help getting out of a certain practice: to analyse to what extent that place could adopt me, how fast would it become familiar, what could it offer, what should I give in return? It is pretty clear for me that I am not behaving any more like a tourist, but as a careful researcher, a simply thrilled and subjective observer of the new life around him, empathizing with it. And as many of these thoughts would not concern me if I weren\u2019t a mom, this analogy of the integration in the life of a city with the one of a child that tries to find his place in a family seems to me almost necessary. We often hear this say \u201cadoption country\u201d. In a metaphorical way, to adopt means to hold. I\u2019ve been trying to understand how sincerely could a city hold a stranger, even on a temporary basis, how adequately could it approach him, so that it meets his expectations and it secures that continuum needed for him to feel as a part of the whole.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

PROCESS SHARING Artistic Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

The interdisciplinary artistic research has been central to the E-Motional Bodies & Cities project. Two different artistic teams have embarked together in a collaborative process to explore the relation between the human body, the urban and geo-political context and new technologies. Each team is composed of five artists (from contemporary dance, visual arts and new media), one from each project country, that have gathered for three working residencies, in three different countries \u2013 Ireland and Cyprus, for one group, Latvia and UK, for the second one, and Romania for both of them.<\/p>\n

The two groups have reunited in Bucharest for a final working session focusing on the politics of the body. Between April 4-11, the artists are working at ZonaD studio and at the Museum of Contemporary Art, having the opportunity to discover Bucharest from different perspectives. The residency will conclude with informal presentations open to the audience, the format of process sharing allowing an access to very different collaborative and performative practices developed by the two teams.<\/p>\n

\nPERFORMANCES\/ PERFORMATIVE INSTALLATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

> Realia (Bucharest\/Beirut) (RO, 2012) [performance]<\/strong>
\n12.04 \/ 22:00\/ subRahova<\/em><\/p>\n

Artistic direction & performance: Farid Fairuz
\nText, costumes & set: Farid Fairuz
\nMusic: Dhafer Youssef, Brent Lewis, Karpov not Kasparov, P. I. Ceaikovski, Margareta P\u00e2slaru
\nTechnical support: Mircea Ghinea
\nProduction: Solitude Project & Caminul Cultural
\nProject financed by: The National Cultural Fund
\nSupported by: Colectiv A
\n* Event opened only to festival guests due to space limitations.<\/p>\n

In Realia (Bucharest\/Beirut) Farid Fairuz questions the frail limit between the real and the fictional, thus emphasizing a discourse based on the construction of multiple identities. His approach underlines the ability of today\u2019s culture to impose the unreal and the fictional as realities, as components of a realm in which the line between the possible, the virtual and the real no longer function as they once did.<\/p>\n

Realia (Bucharest\/Beirut) is a performance that combines temporal layers, real and fictional events from the life of a character that simultaneously has two identities: Mihai Mihalcea, born in Bucharest and Farid Fairuz born in Beirut. The dramaturgy is build upon the tension created through a construct that mixes very personal and powerful memories from Bucharest and fictional elements from Beirut and the other way around.

\u201cA body (sub)merged in a sole is medium of concentric spreading. The sole is hitting the floor. The floor is expanding. The sole is hitting the train rail. The rail is shaking. The sounds are being released through the body centres that become sources of an active-emotional resonance. The body is growing under our eyes as if it were an auditory pore.\u201d \u2013 Mihaela Michailov<\/p>\n

> Facts and truth about Latvian dance. LIVE! [showcase]<\/strong>
\n13.04\/ 21:30\/ MNAC, 3rd floor, Medialab<\/em><\/p>\n

With: Olga Zitluhina, Sintija Silina, Katrina Albuze, Kristine Vismane, Roberts Muci\u0146\u0161, Inta Balode<\/p>\n

Five choreographers (and not all very young and not all women) and one dance critic (and not one of those who love ballet over everything) – all of them together within 60 LIVE minutes with an ambition to share LIVE what the Latvian dance looks like, feels like, doubts about and is about. To achieve that they will offer excerpts from 3 different works plus some extras and all of that wrapped, framed and intruded by those from the team who didn\u2019t have work to show. Come and meet LIVE Latvian dance artists and ask for the truth!<\/p>\n
