A space for art. A space for community.
ZIZ is a space for art and a space for community, for theatre, dance, workshops, meetings, social action.
Founded in 2020 by 4 local NGOs (Shoshin Theatre Association, Fabrica de Pensule, Colectiv A, Made in Pata Rât), ZIZ – Art and Social Area offers the Cluj public a constant, month-by-month programme, running own events as well as hosting guest performances, workshops, concerts as well as other artistic and community events. Situated on the 1st floor of the former Synagogue found on Str. Paris nr. 5, ZIZ was founded out of a desire to create a shared, welcoming space, a place that inspires you, functioning as an incubator for the community. ZIZ is presently home to Shoshin Theatre Association, Waitingroom Project and Made in Pata Rât, open to collaboration, contributing to the formation of a closer link between arts and society.
Workshops and courses about theatre, dance, improvisation and other artistic fields or topics that target different social groups according to age, interest, workfield etc.
We are open to have guest performances or invited performances next to our regular, programmed performances.
The venue’s other places than the studio, like the hallways, small studio, buffet area can be used as exhibition sites for contemporary art objects, pictures, photos etc.
