Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests,
Good evening, Ni Hao!
It is a great pleasure to be here tonight for the dance performance presented by the Confucius Institute of ESCE, in celebration of the Chinese New Year of the Horse.
As vice-president of the World Federation of UNESCO Associations, I have had the privilege of visiting China on numerous occasions. One of these experiences stands out in particular: my participation in the Dunhuang International Arts Week last summer. Standing in the Mogao Caves, facing the millennial frescoes, I felt strongly that these works were not just witnesses to the past, but the living expression of a civilization still in motion. This moment has deeply strengthened the connection I feel with Chinese culture.
Chinese culture, in particular, it fascinates me with its richness and depth. Rooted in a history and traditions that span millennia, it is also distinguished by its ability to evolve, to engage in the contemporary world and embrace innovation. This alliance between heritage and modernity gives it such remarkable vitality.
The show presented tonight, "Legend in Dance", it offers a dialogue that transcends time and cultures. It fully resonates with the mission of the World Federation of UNESCO Associations: to encourage intercultural dialogue, to value the diversity of cultural expressions and to support the living transmission of traditions. More than a show, it is a real bridge between civilizations, a bridge of understanding and harmony.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Confucius Institute of ESCE for organizing this event and to warmly thank the Paris Chinese Dance Company and the Chinese and French artists who will share this exceptional moment with us, as well as to Mr. Mao Qiang and all the teams involved for their outstanding work.
In the end, may the Year of the Horse bring health to all, happiness and energy. I wish this show a huge success and I hope you all have a wonderful evening.
thank you!
Today, 15 January, we celebrate the Day of National Culture, a day of deep significance for our Romanian identity, inseparably linked to the birth of the national poet Mihai Eminescu.
Eminescu is not only a great poet, but a consciousness of the Romanian culture, a voice that gave the language eternity. Through his work, he managed to grasp the longing, love, nature, the history and aspirations of an entire people.
The fact that we are today at the Romance Museum in Târgoviște adds a special emotion to this celebration, because romance, like Eminence poetry, talk about the soul, about sensitivity and what unites us beyond time.
Celebrating culture, we celebrate ourselves, our roots and responsibility to carry forward the values that define us as a nation.
Happy Birthday, Romanian culture!
Happy Birthday, Mihai Eminescu
