International Week of New Music –Bucharest, May 23-29, 2016
Artistic director: Dan Dediu
Central Concept of the Festival: Limits…and Beyond!
The Four Thematic Eutopias:
1. Ulysses – Beyond Tradition
Ullyses is the traveller, the wanderer, the eternal migrant. He has to find always new ideas, to experiment and to bet on originality. ULYSSES-Eutopia is open to adventure.
2. Gulliver – Beyond Culture
Gulliver is the history’s eye and critic. He defies this reality and opens the world of the possible. GULLIVER-Eutopia is open to virtual worlds and stories.
3. Nirvana – Beyond Self
NIRVANA is the Eutopia of fusion the Self with the Universe. Dis-bordering the Self through sacrality and ritual opens the realm of communion and mistery.
4. Matrix – Beyond Nature
Matrix is the apostle of a posthuman world. He is modulating the human being and gives it hi-tech strength. Bio-technological synergy spans from free improvisation to perfect algorhythm. MATRIX-Eutopia is open to Apocalypse.
