For us all members of poezie.ro, this edition of the “Agonia Artistic Workshops” represents a new beginning and a step forward.
Sunday, the 30th of May, at 5:30 pm, “Agonia Artistic Workshops” will open for everyone at the new location: Mike’s Café, Eforie St., no. 2, Bucharest. All those who love art – in its conventional or unconventional forms of expression – are welcomed there for “a cup of coffee, a song, a beer and a poem.”

What’s new?
- The location: friendlier and with a lot more to offer (full technical equipment)
- The issues to debate and a new section: “30 minutes of cinema” (courtesy of The National Film Academy, with the help of Eforie Cinema).
- The partners: beginning with the next workshop, A&A Records, and a couple of Romanian publishing houses.
- The participants’ and guests’ list, which will contain new names form the Romanian cultural life.

What will happen on Sunday?

- We will read poetry and short stories signed by the members of poezie.ro and we will analyze them
- We will watch video productions and discuss about Romanian video productions.
- A poetry contest (creation and interpretation) open to the public
- Short musical concerts and experiments
- We welcome any other artistic experiments (they can be initiated ad-hoc or be rehearsed already)

In the cinema section of the “Agonia Artistic Workshops” we’ll be joined by Radu Ciobotariu and Cosmin Covei and Adrian Tanase (Ţapinarii), three guests with whom we’ll discuss about the present day situation of the video production in Romania. We’ll hear what they have to say about the commercial ads and musical video clips in general. We’ll see some video clips courtesy of Ţapinarii, some pieces signed by Radu Ciobotariu and two musical video clips produced and directed by someone very familiar to you, a person who will be disclosed only on Sunday.

In the musical section of the “Agonia Artistic Workshops” the members of the guitar club of the Students’ Cultural House will join us. Daniel Fãt will give autographs to the public on his first record, 10 days before its official release. You will be able to buy the CD at a special price (the price will have a discount).

I assure you we will have enough time to read poetry and make literary experiments, so I advise everyone to bring with them as much material to read as they can, and maybe some classical pieces as well.

At “Agonia Artistic Workshops” are welcomed artists from any field of the cultural life, no matter the form of expression: music, literature, or visual arts. Those who need special technical accommodations on site can contact us at our email address – available on www.agonia.ro. Café Mike has put at our disposal all its technical equipment.
