Zone Festival 4 and 5 in Timisoara Explore Body, Projection, and Public Space
Initiated in 1993 in Timisoara, Romania, the Eastern Europe Zone Festival, known as Zone, aimed to restore cultural ties following the Iron Curtain. The fourth edition took place from October 4-6, featuring a workshop led by Kristine Stiles, Berislav Valušek, Karen Kipphoff, Vladimir Bulat, and Lia Perjovschi, focusing on performance art. Jozsef Bartha presented 'Adi,' which examined simultaneity, while Kipphoff's piece 'Speech' challenged notions of communication. Artur Tajber's work merged physical reality with projections, and Oskar Dawicki created unease by removing audience chairs. In a public square, André Stitt and Roddy Hunter performed, engaging with bystanders. Stiles and Perjovschi sparked discussions with 'Provocation.' Dan Perjovschi intended to eliminate a 'Romania' tattoo. Zone 5 is set for October 4-6, 2003, featuring participants like Olimpiu Bandalac and Stefan Bertalan.
