Step into the next chapter of the Dancing Histor(y)ies journey as 420PEOPLE dives deeper into the rich history of Viminacium!

In Workshop 2, the team explored the stories behind the ancient amphitheater and mausoleum, uncovering details about Roman spectacles and rituals. They fine-tuned technical plans for the upcoming performance, ensuring every movement and element aligns with the site’s spirit.

This phase also spotlighted the local community, defining their roles and weaving their creativity into the choreography. From movements to costume design and music, the co-creation process took center stage. Even backup performance plans were tested – because rain can’t stop the magic of dance!

Every step connects to the Festival’s theme, Removing Borders, transforming history into a living, moving experience. Stay tuned for what’s next in this unforgettable journey!
