ACTING OUT – an interdisciplinary performance at the National Center for Arts Education, Chisinau

On November 7, 2025, at 19:00, at 23 Serghei Lazo St., Chisinau, will take place ACTING OUT, an interdisciplinary performance (theater, text, live music, video) signed by director Mihai Lukács and performed by actress Katia Pascariu. Admission is free, subject to availability.

About the performance

ACTING OUT explores the body, memory and resistance, inspired by the life of Estherei Magyar-Gonda, dancer, anti-fascist activist and one of the architects of Romanian modern dance. Starting from her deportation to Transnistria and her renunciation of the stage, the performance shows how the body becomes an archive of trauma and a tool of political and pedagogical struggle.

Actress Katia Pascariu interweaves Esther’s biography with her own bodily experience, going through pressures, abuses and forms of resistance through alternative pedagogies. The director Mihai Lukács proposes a collage of gestures, silences, live music and video images, inviting the audience to reconstruct meanings from discontinuity and absence.

The performance will be followed by an artist talk, a space for direct dialog with the artistic team, for critical reflection and discussion with the audience.

Reflection workshop – November 8

On November 8, between 11:00 and 15:00, actress Katia Pascariu will hold a workshop at Queer Cafe, dedicated to power dynamics in schools. Participants will explore, through conversation and performative exercises, how the body and art can become tools for awareness and solidarity. Limited number of places: 20.

INSIDEOUT – Ana Costov’s exhibition, an exploration of the inner self

A new exhibition signed by the artist Ana Costov will take place on November 7, 2025, starting at 18:00, at Cartego, 2 Vlaicu Pârcălab Street, Chisinau. The event marks the official presentation of the INSIDEOUT series, a collection of abstract works dedicated to the dialog between the inner self and the spiritual dimension.

The exhibition invites the public to enter a visual universe built on deep introspection, complex emotions and the search for higher meaning. Each work becomes a landscape of inner experiences, shaped by the dynamics between fragility, courage, chaos and balance.

Themes and experiences for visitors

INSIDEOUT proposes a journey through powerful states and contrasts, which the artist visually translates through shapes, textures and colors. Visitors are invited to discover the transitions between:

  • silence and noise
  • chaos and harmony
  • suffering and healing
  • desire and tranquility
  • fear and courage

These dualities become points of reflection and introspection, encouraging a direct and authentic relationship between the viewer and the work.

Why it’s worth attending

The exhibition is ideal for those who love contemporary art, meaningful discussions and the warm atmosphere of cultural events. INSIDEOUT offers the opportunity to discover the perspective of an artist who transforms inner feelings into powerful and sensitive visual expressions.

Attendees are invited to enjoy original works, discuss with other art enthusiasts and explore a collection that emphasizes authenticity and emotion.

Admission is free.

The event is organized by Cartego, with the support of Castel Mimi.

Zoom In Victoriabank – a new perspective on a career in banking

On October 25, at Victoriabank branch no. 3 in Chisinau, young financial enthusiasts stepped into a different world of banking from close up. The “Zoom In” event , organized by Victoriabank in partnership with AIESEC, offered students and graduates a real opportunity to discover what a day in the life of a banking professional is like.

A day behind the scenes

The aim of the event was to bring young people closer to the reality of the financial system and to give them an authentic insight into what it is like to build a career in the industry.

Participants interacted directly with specialists from Victoriabank, participated in 1-on-1 discussions, practical workshops and simulations of real-life situations, discovering what skills are really important in a modern banking environment.

“It was a very useful experience, I understood more clearly what it means to work in a bank and how important communication and attention to detail are,” said one young participant.

Job shadowing competition

One of the key moments was the competition for a job shadowing experience – a prize that gives the most engaged young people the chance to spend a day shadowing a Victoriabank employee, observing the work inside the institution.

This initiative allows participants to see first-hand how theory turns into practice and how a career is built step by step.

Inspiring collaboration

“We want Zoom In to be more than an informative event – we want it to be a real step towards young people’s careers. By partnering with AIESEC, we give them the opportunity to learn directly from professionals and connect with their future workplace,” said a representative of the organizers.

Through this project, Victoriabank and AIESEC encourage young people to follow their curiosity, discover their professional potential and look at banking from a modern perspective based on innovation and continuous development.

Optimistic end and steps towards the future

The event ended in an enthusiastic atmosphere, with the promise that Zoom In will continue in the years to come to support more and more young people on their way to a successful career.

Follow Victoriabank and AIESEC to find out about the next ZoomIn and other events dedicated to young people who want to turn their professional dreams into reality.
