man.in.fest, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Oct 19-26 2008 (deadline: 1 Mar)



man.in.fest will take place between the 19th and 26 October 2008 in
Cluj-Napoca (in Transylvania region of Romania), organized by Teatrul
Imposibil (The Impossible Theatre) an independent Cultural Association
located in Cluj-Napoca.

MAN.In.FEST is an event addressing young people (15-45), artists and
public, both from Romania and abroad, interested in new/experimental arts
and media, as they are the ones whose new perception needs and social
references are served by the experimental artistic field. Also, either as
public or as artists they need this kind of collaborative activities in
order to have access to different perspectives on the cultural, political
and social issues, through art. The participants will be “cultural
ambassadors” of their countries, and will have the opportunity to
represent their national cultural specificity. In the same time the event
will offer them the time and the place to exchange experiences and points
of view and to work in unfamiliar media, in order to challenge their
creativity and to discover other perspectives, as a result of our across
borders intercultural approach

MAN.In.FEST is the first cultural opportunity in Romania that is
interested in East-West collaboration in European and world wide
experimental theatre and it’s social impact. The main focus is for
Romanian artists and public to relate to contemporary breakthroughs in
performance arts (implementation of new media and technology, aesthetic
tendencies, new artistic languages) by direct contact. They will be able
to see many top productions produced by independent companies from abroad
and participate to art and media workshops, meetings and debates
with/between creators for exchange of experience etc. These activities can
fill in the lack of information and contacts, and the need for a stable
meeting point for this artistic and social target group, as it can
influence Romanian strategies to break it’s cultural isolation in
independent artistic field. This intercultural competence and cross-border
collaboration activities are also important for our foreign participants,
as they have the opportunity to enlarge their competence and their
appetite for intercultural artistic and social activities.

The Performance
It is essential for the show to be experimental, non-conventional in form

language, mime works and large use of music and dance.
