Man.In.Fest, Romania, 21-28 Oct
(deadline: Mar 15)


man.in.fest international festival of experimental theatre will take place
between the 21th and 28 October 2007 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
and spirit.
Very particular attention should be made to ensure that the show is easy
to understand despite foreign language barriers.

Thus we encourage new technologies and marginal arts, non-verbal and body
language, mime works and large use of music and dance.
