Double bill: Wow! You’re a dancer?! Can you show me a split? & ICSPRES IORSELF (premiere)

On 12 November 2026, at 19:30, at the National Dance Centre Bucharest ("Stere Popescu" hall), a double bill of dance and performance takes place as part of the Iridescent festival (1–30 November 2026). The recommended age is 12+, and the languages are Romanian and English. The full festival programme is at cndb.ro/festival/2026.

"Wow! You’re a dancer?! Can you show me a split?" is a performative solo in which the body appears as a living archive. Starting from the author's own career, the piece speaks with self-irony and humour about injuries, auditions, the pressure of the industry and the shift from classical ballet to contemporary dance. Concept, choreography and performance: Sofia Sitaru-Onofrei; dramaturgy: Cristina Tudor; lighting and sound design: Dragoș Mărgineanu; musical arrangement "Arlechiniada": Daniel Stanciucu; voice: Iustin Danalache; CNDB mentor: Madalina Dan.

"ICSPRES IORSELF" is an anti-show about expressing the authentic self in the age of commodification and social networks, with a rhizomatic, non-linear discourse ranging from Valentino to Ozu, Marx and Rilke. One-woman show: Daiana Sargan; costumes: Cireșica Cuciuc; CNDB mentor: Mihai Mihalcea; producer: National Dance Centre Bucharest.

Admission is free, with booking: forms.gle/AVpL46DEPRH2vq1AA
