The Cetate district in Timișoara under the spotlights of Spotlight Heritage, through theater performances with state-of-the-art technologies

Two distinct but completely opposite worlds met through a student passionate about vintage and a technology enthusiast. An urban incursion to rediscover Timișoara's heritage. 

The heritage under the spotlight took the Timișoara public for a walk in a complex world, where history and the old stories of the Cetate neighborhood were experienced through a theater performance, with the use of digital technology and elements of augmented reality. The two performances of the theater show "The Cetate district, under the spotlight!” managed to make the culture, innovation and history of the city more visible, more palpable and more accessible to the participants, who became active explorers of the history and science of the city of Timișoara.

Hundreds of visitors, both young and old, enjoyed the possibilities that the digital world offers us, which allow us to "defy" the boundaries of time and explore the culture and heritage of our city, through means that captivate our senses, in a modern transposition of Timisoara traditions.

The event was carried out in two performances, by The Politehnica University of Timișoara and Banat National Museum, together with the Thespis Student Theater and Diogenes Association and is part of the series of events dedicated to the cultural program Timisoara European Cultural Capital 2023, held within the framework of the project Patrimonil under reflectors / Spotlight Heritage Timișoara, a project co-financed by the Municipality of Timișoara through Project Center, Timiș County Council.
