13–17 October 2025 | “Unauthorized Bodies and Movements”
Workshop guided in the frame of the Academy of Dance and Performance, CNDB
What forms of motion escape definition? How do bodies avoid taxonomies of power? “Unauthorized Bodies and Movements” is a workshop that focuses on the potential of movement and dance to open a liberating space for bodies, images, and ideas that refuse containment. By interrogating structures that seek to define, regulate, and recognize movement—from geopolitical boundaries to algorithmic tracking, from intelligent measuring devices to choreographic traditions and social norms—the workshop questions the body’s relationship to control and discipline, fostering unpredictability and a language of movement that destabilizes expectations.

27 September 2025 | We Walk, We Breathe
Intervention in the frame of Shelter for Collective Dreaming
at The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life
Curation and management: Adelina Luft, Maria Mora, Raluca Voinea
We reclaim duration as common space, and we allow the air to circulate beyond the logics of productivity. This is not an exercise of mindfulness, but a form of micropolitical sabotage. “I breathe, so I oppose” is not a metaphor, but a life politics: every inhale is an act of refusal, every exhale a redistribution of the common space. (Mihai Mihalcea)

25 September 2025 | Premiere of a new performance
Sweet Spot (From the Heart of Terror)
Text, artistic direction, and stage movement: Mihai Mihalcea
With: Razvan Omota & Mihai Mihalcea
Video plot: Andu Dumitrescu
Costumes: Dinu Bodiciu
Soundscape: Mihai Mihalcea (collage featuring works by Simina Oprescu, Igor Stravinsky, Ayra Starr & Wizkid, Maurice Ravel, Berry Gordy, Hal Davis, Bob West, Willie Hutch)
Produced by: Solitude Project Association, in partnership with Bucharest International Dance Film Festival and The National Centre for Dance Bucharest
It is the year 2055. Water and touch have become currency. You no longer know whether you are feeling or simulating. Anhedonia Mira Flux (Razvan Omota), possibly the last remnant of humanity archived in a dissociative system of continuous entertainment, awaits you in Flux. The stage is transformed into an unstable laboratory for a synthetic exercise in entertainment-sabotage and emotional reboot.

Premiere 12 April 2025 | Choreography for Aer (Airswimming), Teatrul Metropolis
Based on real events, the show Aer begins with the meeting between Dora and Persephone in 1924, in a hospital dedicated to women. The reason for their confinement is that the two do not fit the moral norms imposed by the era. Through the perspective of contemporary researchers, the performance traces the friendship that develops between Dora and Persephone, unfolding a bittersweet and often comical story of two women unable to conform to the feminine ideals of their time.
Direction: Leta Popescu
Scenography: Bogdan Spataru
Documentation: Roxana Piticari, Liliana Oprea
Choreography: Mihai Mihalcea
Video: Irina Caraula (Alaska)
Lighting design: Vlad Lazarescu
Sound design: Andrei Raicu

10 April 2025 | Unauthorized Movements: From Taylorism to Dance and Digital Surveillance
Performative lecture presented in the frame of DanceTalks, organized by Moving Balkans
Movement today is often captured, mapped, codified, and constrained—by borders, institutions, surveillance systems, the architecture of cities and urbanism, the design of furniture and objects, and ultimately by the biomechanics implicit in our bodies. Despite extensive efforts by technology and artificial intelligence to extract, capture, and recognize human movement, movement retains characteristics that fundamentally resist capture. These tensions inform a deliberately playful format that explores the liberating potential of movement through performative reflection.

Part of Scenarios of Transition: Contemporary Dance in Southeast Europe, Between Institution and Artistic Practice
a book by Miriam Althammer + appearance on the cover
Chapter: Transformative practices: Artistic strategies for stabilizing dance narratives. Self-empowerment as reaction: Formulated fictional characters Janez Jansa, Farid Fairuz, and Stere Popescu
How do we remember how we danced and what influenced us? In Scenarios of Transition, Miriam Althammer examines a topic that has received little attention in dance studies: the impact of Europe’s eastward expansion on contemporary dance. Using the example of the East–West exchange at Tanzquartier Wien in the early 2000s, she analyzes the artistic and institutional practices of dancers and choreographers from Southeast Europe through oral histories.
Her focus is on how embodied knowledge is communicated within the interview situation as a performative act, as well as on the expansion of the concept of the archive within a critical culture of remembrance. The methodological and discursive interfaces she employs translate three historically established, dance-affine approaches: archival research, artistic research, and oral history. Their common ground lies in considering acting bodies as both subjects and objects of knowledge production and mediation.

TRIUMF AMIRIA: LOVE LETTER TO MIHAI MIHALCEA
Curator: KILOBASE BUCHAREST
Continuing the curatorial format LOVE LETTER TO […], created in 2021 as part of the TRIUMF AMIRIA concept, KILOBASE BUCHAREST and Kunsthalle Bega Timisoara present LOVE LETTER TO IRINA BUJOR and LOVE LETTER TO MIHAI MIHALCEA - two exhibitions bringing together queer statements in a dialogue about the possibility of revisiting and resizing worlds that, rather than divergent, overlap and intertwine. Mihai Mihalcea’s exhibition reveals a process, both subtle and intense, of negotiating with the artistic identities assumed over time, the “unit view” becoming a means of developing his artistic practice. In parallel, Irina Bujor’s exhibition reflects a sustained attempt to redefine her universe, in which empathy, identity, and the future are infused with unexpected meanings.

Permanent Collection is an ongoing choreographic practice by Manuel Pelmus that investigates and reimagines the role of performance within a visual arts context. The work explores the relationship between the performer’s gesture—understood as bodily mimesis, refusal, or divergence from existing realities—and the affective bonds on which performance relies, in relation to the conventions and constraints of exhibition and museum environments, where collections are guarded and displayed.

Familly Album - Artistic intervention in the EXPO_02_GEN
The first artistic intervention in the EXPO_02_GEN exhibition is signed by Mihai Mihalcea and takes the form of a collective participatory video work titled Family Album, developed from a 1920s–1930s album of female nudes from the Mihai Oroveanu Image Collection. The archival images avoid eroticization and objectification, proposing gestures and postures that suggest relaxation, playfulness, self-assumption, vulnerability, and subtle forms of female power and subjectivity. Mihalcea translates the album into a video format created with people close to him, in the context of isolation and social rupture produced by the pandemic. The album becomes a mobile point of reference that travels through spaces and bodies, functioning as an affective archive of an extended family. Participants recreate, with their own bodies and within domestic spaces, selected photographs from the album in the form of short video sequences. The montage keeps the material almost unfiltered, making visible the tension between vulnerability and the need to be together through corporeality. More details here

premiere of 'Stars High in Amnesia's Sky (Reactivations)'
by Mihai Mihalcea
Introduced as work-in-progress at the Centre National de la Danse, the work was premiered at the Hebbel am Uffer Theater, within Internationales TanzFest Berlin, in 2003, starring Maria Baroncea, Eduard Gabia and Mircea Ghinea, alongside scenographer Andu Dumitrescu. Following the berlin premiere, Martin Hargreaves, editor at Dance Theatre Journal, wrote in the 19th issue of the London-based magazine about the festival and considered “Stars High in Amnesia’s Sky” as” an intelligent and well-thought performance, whose minimalistic approach highlighted the complexity of the choreographic and political questions it raised. This is a revisited version of the original work created with students of The Academy for Dance and Performance at CNDB.

Following the berlin premiere, Martin Hargreaves, editor at Dance Theatre Journal, wrote in the 19th issue of the London-based magazine about the festival and considered “Stars High in Amnesia’s Sky” as” an intelligent and well-thought performance, whose minimalistic approach highlighted the complexity of the choreographic and political questions it raised. This is a revisited version of the original work created with students of The Academy for Dance and Performance at CNDB.

June 11–15, 2019 | Art Basel, Messeplatz | "Aggregate" by Alexandra Pirici
assisting the installation of the work and performing in "Aggregate"
Art Basel is pleased to present Aggregate (2017 – 2019), a performative environment created by the Romanian artist Alexandra Pirici, and curated by Cecilia Alemani for Messeplatz Basel. Known for staging complex actions, gestures and live choreographies, Pirici explores structures of power and symbolic manifestations of history, alongside individual and collective notions of bodily presence. In her performative pieces she often stages ensembles in which actors and dancers represent historical events and ‘rematerialize’ both well and lesser known artworks, compositions which range from minimal actions to vast, living landscapes combining dance, choreography, sculpture, performance, and digital technology.
