BPM

BPM – Beats per Millennium explores the evolution of Romania’s clubbing scene through the lens of its social and cultural practices over recent decades. By reflecting on the rhythmic and physical histories of club crowds, the performance delves into key periods of social transformation, portraying the club as a space of free expression where music and dance served as acts of resistance against an oppressive socio-political context.
