Rewriting Miorita :::: will be
planned
We invite
organisations / art operators / curators to join in the realization of
this project: fundraising, organising, producing etc.
The subject
and the starting
point is the Romanian old pastoral ballad Miorita, (…) that
describes death as a joyful marriage between human and cosmos, a feast
at which all nature participates. For the ballad and a translation,
please refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miorita,
http://spiritromanesc.go.ro/Miorita%20-eng.html.
Morisena will invite about
4 poets from
various countries to re-write Miorita in their own, contemporary
language & context, during a collaborative residency at the
centre.
They should translate their new work into English (or have someone
doing it for them via internet). We will take care of the translations
form English into Romanian and Hungarian. Perhaps it would be
interesting to write a Miorita together in a collaborative process
>> that will be figured out together by the poets during
the
project.
A visual artist will also
be invited to
create an art installation with the new contemporary poems inspired by
Miorita. We will consider using the music produced during TransyMusic
as a background for the presentation / exhibition, as a way of creating
connections between various Morisena projects and participating
artists.
At the end, the booklet
will be edited
and published with all texts in their original languages, English,
Romanian, Hungarian versions.
A launch will be held at
Teatru 74 /
Teatrul Scena or Teatrul Ariel. We will look for galleries
for
the sculpture / art installation that will be produced during the
residency.
Presently, m o r i s e n a
centre is
financially not self-sufficient. Concerning the project costs, we are
currently exploring founding options. Due to the difficulty of
attaining such grants, we may need as a collective to cover the
expenses ourselves. Thus far we estimate the minimum daily costs to be
of minimum 7 euros a day. We will manage the budget as a group and try
to keep things simple, low cost and transparent for all. For subsidies,
check: www.eurocult.org,
www.on-the-move.org, www.transartists.nl
etc.
