Info

Our dear ones, due to objective reasons, independent of CNDB’s will, we have to cancel the performances “Outcome” and “Less might be more, but sometimes less is just nothing” on October 9. Instead, on Saturday, October 9, at 11:00, we will stream on the Facebook page the documentaries made by Bogdana Pascal about the two shows. Those who have purchased tickets online (from the kompostor.ro website) will receive the equivalent value of the amount by bank transfer. We apologize and thank you for your understanding!

Trained as a dancer and choreographer, the artist Eduard Gabia returns to the stage of the Bucharest National Center for Dance Bucharest in a double hypostatis: that of performer of the initial version of the work “Outcome”, by Manuel Pelmuș, which he revisits with his own body after 20 years, and that of an author who enters his own work for the first time – “8 days a week” – 15 years after its premiere at the Kaaitheater Brussels in 2006. The two performances will be presented as a double bill, on October 9 at CNDB.

8 days a week is the performance created by Eduard Gabia and presented for the first time in 2006 being a co-production of CNDB and Kaaitheater Bruxelles. In order to create the work, the artistic team from back then (Eduard Gabia, Carmen Coțofană, Maria Baroncea, Florin Fieroiu, Brynjar Bandlien and Beniamin Boar) benefited from a creative residency at Kaaitheater, one of the most prestigious European contemporary dance theatres, where they also presented the performance two times.

8 days a week is a performance built on an ingenious practice of movement, which Gabia experienced playfully himself before developing a whole set of tools that he delivers to the dancers for their own use. Nothing simpler, nothing more difficult.

“In the reality of the world around us, our actions are composed of two types of interaction, Gabia tells us. Informational – we have the necessary knowledge for that action. Energy – we know, we have, the exact amount of energy to perform that action. The action is the meeting point of the two perspectives, which in 8 days a week I tried to unbalance, turning each action into a “failure”, into a “mistake”. And from mistake to mistake a normal, natural reality gathers.”

(Eduard Gabia)
