Giant domino pieces to connect two major squares in Romania’s Cluj-Napoca this weekend

A total of 3,000 giant domino pieces will connect the Unirii Square and the Mihai Vitezu Square in Cluj-Napoca, central Romania, this Saturday (September 26). The line of dominoes will stretch over 1.2 kilometers. The event is called Cluj Dominos and will start at 17:00. ‘Dominoes’ is a moving sculpture specially adapted to the context of each city in which it is presented. In recent years, the project was present in cities such as London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Marseille, Helsinki, and Ljubljana. In Cluj-Napoca, the line of dominoes will start in Unirii Square (west side) and will then cross the courtyard of the Consulate General of Hungary, will pass by Casa Matei, through the Shadow Bar, Muzeului Square, I.L. Caragiale Park, crosses Ferdinand street, enters the Central Store, and reaches the Florin Piersic Cinema and Mihai Viteazu Square through Tipografiei street and David Ferenc street.

Station House Opera creates the event produced by Artsadmin (UK) and organized by AltArt Foundation.
