Casual Wednesday

For the November 27 edition, we are waiting for applications for performative moments. Registration can be done at .

“Casual Wednesday ” involves direct experimentation of ideas using performativity, but without the previous elaboration and repetition of content as in a performance. In “Light Wednesdays”, the participants come with their laboratory of intimate concerns and endeavors which they expose in front of an audience curious to participate in the performative experimentation of free statements and questions, in a setting free from the expectations, constraints and stress of presenting a finished performance. Each of these exhibitions is a premiere in itself, in a concentrate of an active, vulnerable, open present.

At the launch of the project in 2008, Eduard Gabia declared: “A performance that has no past, no future, but only a present – a now. Disappearing as it has appeared, the performance makes only the affirmation of that moment. By affirming something every Wednesday, in time, the affirmations become the affirmations of a week, of months, of a year – the year of light affirmations.”

“Miercurea lejeră” is based on spontaneity and the power of improvisation, which become all the more performative as they are linked to the real moment and time in which the participants choose to expose themselves “without a safety net”, without rehearsals and previous preparations. The presence of the performers and their unmediated present become, in this way, part of the material of each presentation.

“Light Wednesdays – performatively affirmed ideas” is an open platform where anyone can test their ideas on stage, provided they register in advance. Anyone can participate, regardless of age, profession, education or training. The stage thus becomes a democratic space accessible to all, creating the conditions for encounters and dialog without borders, across disciplines, backgrounds and experience.

Over the years, this laboratory of experimentation has helped to coagulate a spirit that has generated numerous projects and inspired the artistic endeavors of many artists from the fields of contemporary dance, visual arts, theater and music, but has also attracted many people in search of free forms of expression to the arts.

Their presence in the local scene creates a vibrant environment that inspires and energizes, transcending the boundaries of musical genres, reconfiguring existing power dynamics where cultural systems and networks are still predominantly patriarchal.
