Contemporar

The exhibition is a reenactment of the archive that dancer and choreographer Miriam Răducanu leaves behind, with senZ, through photographic and video documents, interviews, and the memories of those who danced with her, learned from her or encountered her as spectators. To search for senZ within Miriam Răducanu’s archive means, first and foremost, to rediscover the original meaning of what Miriam pursued throughout her creative work, while also revealing aspects related to the ephemeral and fragile nature of what remains after dance, the role of archives in dancers’ lives, and their potential in the present for new generations. These documents are not merely traces; when researched, they become steps charged with senZ. The exhibition traces the choreographer’s artistic journey across half a century and, for the first time, brings together photographic and video documents recovered from Romanian public archives as well as from the private archives of those who collaborated with Miriam Răducanu from the 1960s to the present day, including Gigi Căciuleanu, Raluca Ianegic, Liana Tugearu and Ioan Tugearu, alongside materials from the choreographer’s personal archive.
