“Dance is not simply a combination of lines, of elements or patterns drawn from some imaginary library of choreography. (...) The way I approached the experience of dance relied heavily on individual traits, on human personality. (...) I was fortunate to have teachers who taught me to think and to choose my own vocabulary, and who showed me the path and the freedom to search for it.” *
In 2024, CNDB organized an extensive exhibition dedicated to choreographer and dancer Miriam Răducanu, which also included the screening of Miriam Răducanu — Rigoare și senZ, presented this year at BIDFF. The guided tours enhance this initiative, selectively and fragmentarily reconstructing Miriam Răducanu’s choreographic universe and explorations. Using archival materials (texts, interviews, photographs), they are conceived as puzzles of ideas, content, and attitudes that reflect her unmistakable way of thinking about dance: essentialized, syncretic, free.
The title, “The Art That Needs No Words”, is a quote from an interview given by Miriam Răducanu.
* Quote from the interview conducted by Ștefania Ferchedău and Alina Șerban with Miriam Răducanu, published in Cronica unui dans de cameră, part of the Parkour series, produced and edited by Institutul Prezentului.
