Hundreds of Timișoara residents discovered the cultural heritage of the Iosefin neighborhood, with personalities from other times, in a dance performance, with the use of digital technology and AR elements
Hundreds of people from Timișoara had the opportunity to imagine the city from other times and to know the customs of families from another time, in a theater-dance show, with elements of virtual and augmented reality, made by the Magnum Team Sports Dance Club, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Timișoara and the National Museum of Banat, part of the cultural program Timișoara European Cultural Capital 2023.
The first dance show among the four events that will highlight the cultural heritage of the city's neighborhoods took place on Thursday, July 21, on the Iron Bridge in the Iosefin neighborhood, and was enhanced by the use of digital technology and elements of augmented reality, elements made by the "Spotlight Heritage Timișoara" project team, from the Politehnica University of Timișoara.
The first dance event entitled "Valeria's World", tried to bring to life the story of a female character who lived in the Iosefin neighborhood and was inspired by the life of Valeria Pintea, having as a starting point the exhibition "Iosefin Neighborhood and Valeria Dr. Pintea. A novel in an exhibition", which is based on the novel Dr. Valeria Pintea. A family novel (Editura Marineasa, Timișoara, 2013) of Mrs. Liana Maria Gomboșiu, Valeria's niece. This exhibition was organized in 2019 by the National Museum of Banat and the Politehnica University of Timișoara, in the series of events "Spotlight Heritage Timișoara/ Heritage under the spotlight Timișoara".
The participants discovered, through dance steps, the atmosphere of stories from another time in the Iosefin Quarter, in a special setting, at sunset, and got to know the world of Valeria, with the customs of families from another time, having the opportunity to admire the historical buildings of the city, with the help of current digital elements, which interfered the past with the present, all this in a unique experience.
