The international conference "The Sonic Turn" investigates sound and the act of listening, on November 14 and 15, 2025, in the Small Hall of the National Theater of Bucharest. The Attic platform launches The Sonic Turn, an interdisciplinary initiative that places sound at the center of understanding contemporary cultural and socio-political phenomena. The project focuses on a paradigm shift that is increasingly present in international research and public discourse: understanding and using sound as a tool for knowledge and critical reflection. This reorientation positions sound as a critical mode of investigation, a material force, and a site of power. Through debates, presentations, discussions, concerts, articles, and podcasts, "The Sonic Turn" opens a dialogue about the role that acoustic experiences play in the configuration and deconstruction of memory, identity, and the social body. On November 14 and 15, 2025, The Attic presents the international conference The Sonic Turn in the Small Hall of the National Theater in Bucharest. Theorists, anthropologists, artists, and ethnomusicologists will gather for two days to explore the cultural, political, and ecological dimensions of sound and listening through presentations, performances, and discussions. The Sonic Turn brings together several Romanian and international guests, each with a unique practice in the field of sound studies and related arts: Catalina Tesar (RO), Cosmin Nicolae (RO), Delia Grigore (RO), Holger Schulze (DE), Ian Nagoski (USA), Manja Ristić (RS), Maria Balabas (RO), Salomé Voegelin (CH/UK), Simina Oprescu (RO) and Stefan Fraunberger (AT). In addition, the conference program will include a discussion curated by the Iscoada platform on the topic of sonic surveillance in techno-feudalism: "Who is listening to whom and for what purpose? Sound as an instrument of control." From the aesthetics and politics of the sound of war to listening as a decolonial practice, from collective memory to cultural identity and sonic activism, the presentations open up new perspectives on sound studies, and the performances invite the audience to listen to and perceive socio-cultural phenomena from new angles. There will be critical discussions about the role of sound in society, its political and ecological dimensions, as well as memory, identity, and surveillance. Participants will have the opportunity to discover diverse voices and practices, take part in interdisciplinary dialogues, and experience sound as a medium for research, expression, and cultural resistance. Between September 2025 and January 2026, The Attic will publish a series of articles and podcast episodes exploring the subject of sound from the perspectives of artists, journalists, and researchers invited to contribute. The materials explore from multiple perspectives how sound shapes cultural, social, and political experiences. By opening up to the general public and through academic input, "The Sonic Turn" aims to deepen our understanding of how we listen, stimulate critical reflection, and position Bucharest in the international circuit of debates on sound, memory, and identity in contemporary culture. Together, we ask ourselves: what does it mean to think with and through sound today—and what would the future look and sound like with this renewed attention to sound? Information about tickets will be available soon. The Sonic Turn is a cultural project co-funded by the National Cultural Fund Administration. The project does not necessarily represent the position of the National Cultural Fund Administration. AFCN is not responsible for the content of the project or how the results of the project may be used. These are entirely the responsibility of the funding beneficiary.

Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest. The organiser is exclusively liable for the quality and content of this event! An artistic dialogue between Sergiu Tuhutiu and Flavia Giurgiu On Monday, October 13, 2025, at 7:30 p.m., in the Pictura Hall, we invite you to Chopin Exposed, an innovative performance that combines Frédéric Chopin's music with contemporary texts inspired by it, in a captivating artistic dialogue between pianist Sergiu Tuhutiu and actress Flavia Giurgiu. The performance, presented at the Pictura Hall of the National Theater in Bucharest, explores how the great composer transformed his perception of fragility into piano music, translating the intimacy of emotions into a universal language that still inspires us today, 215 years after his birth. The script combines letters written by the composer during his time in London with original texts written by Flavia Giurgiu and Sergiu Tuhutiu, inspired by Chopin's music. The contrast between classical piano compositions and modern sound design, built from ambient textures and synthesizer sounds, creates a fascinating temporal arc. The perspective of the artists Sergiu Tuhutiu: "I have long wanted to create a performance that combines Chopin's music with a contemporary touch. Flavia's lyrics bring precisely this note: they are current—some full of fantasy, others painfully anchored in everyday experience. Beyond the score of the performance, for me this show is about our play with time. This creates small suspended moments that relate to a certain match between a word or a line and a musical motif, a phrase ending, or a harmonic delay. And for those inexplicable moments of magic, it seems worth all the effort." Flavia Giurgiu: "For years, I have been using texts I have written myself in the performances and shows I work on, texts that I do not present as my own, because I never have enough time, because I could always have done better. About a time when music was not considered art, but a profession. About a time when I think I have the most beautiful job, because I do what I want to do. Chopin Exposed, an interior on display, about home and house, about the stage, about life, when there is time left." About the artists Sergiu Tuhutiu – pianist, creator, and artistic director Sergiu Tuhutiu is a pianist and artistic director with a career spanning over fifteen years on international stages. A graduate of the Royal College of Music in London, the University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart, the Abbey Road Institute in London, and holder of a doctorate in musical performance from the Gheorghe Dima Academy in Cluj-Napoca, he combines interpretative excellence with the vision of a producer and cultural innovator. He was awarded the Grand Prize at the Debut to Master Competition in St. Petersburg, has given recitals and interdisciplinary projects in Europe and the United States, and has created shows with original concepts, such as Chopin Meets Broadway, presented in Hollywood, London, and New York, with the participation of artists Peisha and Katharine McPhee. In addition to his concert activity, Tuhutiu has extensive experience as a producer and manager of cultural projects, collaborating with renowned studios such as Abbey Road Studios in London and coordinating large-scale artistic initiatives – from orchestral recordings with dozens of musicians to innovative multimedia projects. With Chopin Exposed, Sergiu Tuhutiu offers a new foray into the romantic universe, this time filtered through a contemporary vision that brings Chopin's music closer to the sensibilities of today's audience. Flavia Giurgiu – actress, dancer, and choreographer Flavia Giurgiu is a theater, dance, and performance artist based in Bucharest, with a steady presence on stages across Romania and Europe. A graduate of the Faculty of Theater and Television in Cluj-Napoca and the Octavian Stroia High School of Choreography and Dramatic Arts, her career includes collaborations with prestigious directors and choreographers such as Radu Afrim, Gigi Caciuleanu, Andrei Serban, Oskaras Koršunovas, and Mihai Maniutiu.

In terms of its creation, starting from arithmetic, under the influence of the number four, closely linked to creation, balance, and harmony, we can say first of all that Guido's Seasons evoke memories of the "belle danse" (Baroque dance), which emerged in the 17th century with the ideal of governing the body and mind in tandem and performing movements with grace, precision, and ease. The number four is also associated with the Earth and the wheel of life, which does not always turn smoothly, if not completely upside down, given the ugliness, stupidity, and inhumanity that proliferate. With Vivaldi's Seasons, we are moved by a more natural, more human form of dance. Ultimately, we transform things into a poetic fantasy, and with these two words, you have the basics. Against a backdrop of black petals scattered across the horizon, winged beings mourn the loss of spirit and clarity. Why? Because the Seasons are just a ballet, and there is nothing more serious than the unbelievable. (Thierry Malandain) Link for tickets    Trailer    Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu

In March last year they embarked together on the “Welcoming Tour”, a joint tour to launch their debut albums, playing in the country's biggest cities. What started out as a series of three concerts turned into a full-blown road trip, becoming a celebration that lasted until the end of the summer of 2024. Paul Tihan, after the raw-acoustic journey of the past, has now transformed into a quintet that sheds light on his thoughts and experiences. The character of the project is not categorized into a certain genre of music, but is more of a journey unfolded into chapters that show the subtle layers of life. In musical terms, Paul has labeled his project as indie poetry rock. Andra Andriuca, inspired by people, nature and the hustle and bustle of life and thought, she puts into lyrics and chords stories for the soul. Along with vocals and guitar, the project has grown over the past two years into a band that shapes the songs with an indie, pop-rock sound and a few alternative notes. A year later, Paul Tihan and Andra Andriuca return to Bucharest with the same concert-concept: a double concert, this time as part of the Rooftop Season series.

Ada Milea reinvents the performance she created at Piatra Neamt's Youth Theater and proposes a “concert in 2” version, together with Berti Barbera. The 2 artists and their instruments transform themselves into a host of characters, as the whole village sings its stories. We look forward to seeing you stealing from the cherry trees, swimming in the river, where the dead flies are, to the missing hoopoe from the linden tree and many other tricks from Ion Creanga's childhood. (bilet.ro) Creanga comes to life in June, with humor, rhythm and a touch of theater, in the special tour “Concert after Creangă - Memories of my Childhood”, performed by the unmistakable Ada Milea and the versatile Berti Barbera. The two artists transform their voices and instruments into a whole gallery of characters, reimagining the world of Ion Creanga's childhood in a unique “concert in 2”. The audience will be taken through the misadventures of the child Nica, in a sonic reinterpretation full of fun and fantasy: from “stealing from the cherry tress” and the river swimming to the famous “missing hoopoe” from the linden tree and other old-time pranks.

Toulouse Lautrec borrowed from the painter's personality and spread it on the airwaves and on the country's stages. In an age of the prefix “post,” Toulouse Lautrec are post-indie-rock, post-mainstream and post-underground. They've managed to survive myspace, youtube, facebook, instagram, spotify and now they're coping with artificial intelligence. They are and have remained four guys who play guitars and drums and have been reinventing themselves for 15 years now. They have 6 albums, dozens of songs in the charts, dozens of music videos, countless gigs in about seven countries and seven seas, as far as they can remember. Rana is a melancholic alternative rock band formed in Pitesti that saw the light of the world in the fall of 2016. The band's sound can be categorized from alternative rock to indie-emo rock, and the lyrics are mostly about love, sometimes touching on social themes. The band has released singles such as “Chinese Sky” and “Far Away”, and in August 2022 their debut EP “Electric Green” was released, and in August 2023, their second EP, called “Codependent”, was released, a record that captures a couple's love story captured in 6 acts, more precisely in 6 songs. The most recent EP, called “Noi Doi (Versus restul lumii)” is built around a love that isolates from the rest of the world. The center of the world becomes the two of them. Whether it's the toxic, anxious, fleeting love or the one that stays forever, for a moment, nothing exists but him & her. It's an EP about love and the global perils it comes with.

Alexandra Usurelu returns to the National Theater in Bucharest on August 14, 2025, for an extraordinary concert with her musicians in the TNB Amphitheater Hall.   The concert "Pe sub stele-n sus" (Upright Under the Stars) recreates the unique experiences of previous years, when Alexandra Usurelu managed to create a truly magical atmosphere above the city, carrying her fans to the stars with her fine and suave music, away from the noise and crowds. The concert on August 14, 2025, will include her beloved songs, as well as others that have not yet been released, performed live with the support of her musicians, remarkable names on the Romanian jazz scene and in the world of orchestral music. Alexandra Usurelu's voice and personality have shaped the image of a unique artist in Romanian music for connoisseurs of quality music, whose concerts are not to be missed. A true success story of independent music in Romania, Alexandra Usurelu has managed in just a few years to evolve from concerts with a few dozen spectators on club stages to sold-out tours with a band and private orchestra in theaters across the country, developing a tradition of presenting increasingly sophisticated artistic content year after year, with complex concert productions comparable to those of the most famous mainstream artists, on the stages of philharmonic halls and national theaters, sometimes with several concerts sold out on the same day. Alexandra has released the studio album "La capatul lumii" (At the End of the World) (2014), the DVD "Simfonic Pur" (2016), filmed live at her first concert at the National Theater in Bucharest, and the studio album "Fata care chiar exista" (The Girl who Really Exists) (2022). His first album, "La capatul lumii" (At the End of the World), received three nominations from the Romanian Broadcasting Corporation at the 13th edition of the Radio Romania Music Awards, in the categories "Best Debut," "Best Album," and "Best Duet" (for "Something's Happening to Us" ft. Mircea Vintila). Her collaborations with folk artists (Mircea Vintila, Dinu Olarasu, Mircea Rusu, Narcisa Suciu) and pop artists (Cornel Ilie/VUNK, Dan Byron, etc.) have exposed her music and artistic universe to a diverse and wide audience, and the hundreds of concerts she has given to date have made her a unique artist in Romanian music, not only because of her style and musical talent, but especially thanks to her naturalness and influential lyrics, which resonate in the hearts of her listeners. For her second album, entitled "Fata care chiar exista" (The Girl Who Really Exists) and released in early 2022, Alexandra Usurelu tackled powerful themes and subjects, all with modern poetry that transcends the themes of current pop music, poetry clothed in the fine sounds of classical music, classic jazz, or the essential sounds of folk music, brought back to life and reinterpreted. The album was recorded with her band, made up of outstanding jazz musicians, and a string orchestra. The integration of a string orchestra into her music began several years ago, the orchestra being not just an extension of pomp and sound for pop songs, but an integral part of the entire musical concept staged by Alexandra. The album "Fata care chiar exista" (The Girl who Really Exists) offers a synaesthetic experience of the senses, not just impeccable listening. These are songs that have been played for many years in concerts, arranged for band and string orchestra, a sound experience very different from what pop music offers, but easy to understand and desirable for any art consumer who prefers to seek out the music they listen to themselves," says Bobby Stoica, composer and music producer of the album "The Girl Who Really Exists." Alexandra Usurelu is a constant presence in the seasons of cultural institutions' orchestras, but she also collaborates successfully with the few private orchestras. In June 2024, she gave her most important concert to date at the Romanian Athenaeum, in the Royal Season, alongside the highly acclaimed Bucharest orchestra Camerata Regala, conducted by Constantin Grigore. Without any fancy stuff or aggressive promotion, Alexandra Usurelu has done something that might seem like just a faint hope in Romania these days: she's won over an educated audience with refined tastes, who like to pick the music they listen to and follow their favorite artists to concert halls. Tickets for the concert "Pe sub stele-n sus" (Upright Under the Stars) on August 14, 2025, at the TNB Amphitheater Hall, are available in electronic format at www.iabilet.ro, in Flanco stores, Metrou Unirii 1, Muzica, IQ BOX, and at Selfpay terminals.
