As 2023 European Capital of Culture, Timisoara has kicked off a Festival of Lights until January 2nd as a complex show of light, projections and video mapping, fireworks and laser games.
The County Council’s program will organise international festivals, such as the JazzX International Jazz Festival, the Codru Festival, the Flight Festival or the International Literature Festival, which are just some of the moments capable to draw large audiences from the entire region. Events that combine music with new technologies centered around the iconic monuments of the city – the Huniade Castle, the Maria Theresia Bastion or the Baroque Palace – will complete the offer of the County Council.
„The central and most valuable event (…) is Romania’s largest Brancusi exhibition in the last 50 years. Titled ‘Brancusi: Romanian Sources and Universal Perspectives’, it will have exhibits from famous museums of the world on display and is expected to attract numerous visitors and offer a unique experience. The exhibition is complemented by the retrospectives ‘Victor Brauner – Inventions and Magic’ and ‘Paul Neagu. A Retrospective’, but also by a string of events that highlight new forms of artistic expression at the National Art Museum. We would also like to bring a section of the ‘George Enescu’ Festival to Timisoara”, added Dan Diaconu.
He also stated that the county administration has made significant investments and continues to allocate considerable amounts for infrastructure, in order to bring the city’s cultural and exhibition spaces to European standards and to allow the organization of high magnitude international events. The investment program includes the National Art Museum, the Maria Theresa Bastion, the Village Museum and the Banat Region National Museum, other monuments and flagship institutions of Timisoara city, in a bid to leave a solid legacy of Timisoara 2023 Capital of Culture, reports Agerpres.
