Description
The richness and diversity of Dobrogea''s immaterial heritage tend to be gradually lost, in the context of the depopulation of the region, the aging of the population and, implicitly, the diminishing general interest in traditions. The revaluation and reinsertion of immaterial heritage in the lives of human communities and individuals, especially young generations, but also the capitalization of immaterial heritage, customs and traditions, ethnic diversity become so needed. The project will create the necessary context for the multiethnic and multicultural vein of Dobrogea to be promoted and to become accessible to the general public. Based on the extremely generous documentary material of the trilogy "Black Sea Tales" of the Doctor of History and the writer Cristian Cealera (380 stories), we will create 20 radio theater shows with interethnic themes in which direct references will be made to the traditions and customs of the most important ethnic groups that coexist with Romanians on the territory of Dobrogea. The shows will be broadcast on the regional station Radio Constanța FM (C-FM) and uploaded on a dedicated podcast. Also, within the project, it will be organized the non-formal training course "Acting in the radio theater".
Summary of project results
The project aimed to promote the multiethnic cultural heritage of Dobrogea by addressing two key challenges: the need for innovative methods to preserve and disseminate intangible heritage and the limited public awareness of the region’s rich cultural diversity.
To achieve this, the project focused on producing and broadcasting 20 radio theater performances, bringing to life the stories, traditions, and voices of Dobrogea’s multiethnic communities. Additionally, it sought to encourage contemporary artistic practices as complementary tools for heritage promotion, ensuring that traditional narratives remain relevant and accessible to modern audiences.
The project carried out several key activities to promote Dobrogea’s multiethnic cultural heritage. A training session was organized on acting for radio theater, equipping participants with the skills needed to bring radiophonic plays to life.
As a core output, 20 radiophonic pieces were produced and distributed, each inspired by the legends and stories of the region’s ethnic minorities. To further enhance visibility and engagement, the 20 productions were promoted through a dedicated podcast, ensuring continued access to the stories and fostering a deeper appreciation for the region’s cultural diversity.
The project achieved significant results, benefiting both cultural professionals and the wider public. Ten professionals participated in specialized training on acting for radiophonic theater, enhancing their skills and contributing to the revival of this artistic medium.
A total of 20 radiophonic theater productions were created, each exploring the social, ethnic, and cultural narratives of Dobrogea’s minority communities. The impact extended to the audience, with an estimated 2,500 people listening to the radiophonic theater pieces. By making these productions widely accessible, the project successfully engaged the public in an innovative and immersive way, ensuring that Dobrogea’s multicultural heritage continues to be recognized and valued.
