Mihai Mihalcea contributed as an artist to the international recognition of Romanian contemporary dance and, at the same time, played an essential role in the efforts that led to the establishment or activity of structures and institutions that have become landmarks of this art: the Marginalii Group, the Multi Art Dance Center, and the IndepenDans Festival. He was co-founder of the first public institution dedicated to contemporary dance – the National Dance Center Bucharest (CNDB), of which he was director from 2005 to 2013. 

Over the years, he has created performances and choreographic works presented by institutions and festivals such as Tanzquartier Wien, Centre National de la Danse Pantin, Tanz im August Berlin, Paris Quartier d'Été, Springdance Utrecht, Rencontres Choreographiques de Seine-Saint-Denis, Fabrica de Pensule Cluj-Napoca, Black Box Theater Oslo, Silesian Dance Theatre, Bytom, Theatre – Alfred Ve Dvore/Motus, Prague, Antistatic Festival Sofia, Dance House Limassol, and many others.

Between 2010 and 2019, he performed under the name Farid Fairuz in his own works as well as in works by Alexandra Pirici and Manuel Pelmuș presented at The State Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg, Tate London, Art Basel, New Museum NY, Theatre de la Ville, Paris, National Gallery Prague, NTU CCA, Singapore, Kunsthalle Wien, and others.
