Romanian Caciuleanu’s “Heart2hearT” dance show to get world premiere at Battery Dance Festival

Romanian choreographer Gigi Caciuleanu’s “Heart2hearT” dance show, a production of the Sibiu Ballet Theatre and Gigi Caciuleanu Romanian Dance Company in collaboration with the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, will get a world premiere at the Battery Dance Festival in New York, according to the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York.

The show runs at Rockefeller Park – Battery Park City on Tuesday, August 13 and Saturday, August 17.

According to ICR presentation, the performance is a free choreographic duo inspired by one of the founding myths of Romanian identity, the story of the Miorita, symbol of absolute devotion and of the serene acceptance of death. Gigi Caciuleanu offers an original reinterpretation of the famous myth, one that is charged with “poetic energy” and uses the trademark choreographic language that has made him a household name. Through their complex movements, the two dancers imagine a corporeal geometry, like two living metaphors of love and sacrifice, evolving in a timeless universe between Heaven and Earth.

The Battery Dance Festival is New York City’s longest-running free public dance festival. Each year, the festival draws a combined audience of over 12,000 in-person and over 35,000 virtual viewers.
