“If we didn’t suffer, if we had just lives as 80% of people do, we would not have had the experiences that we had and we would have nothing to say as artists, we would have nothing to transfer then on both to the viewer and to the audience.

Once you’ve been on earth long enough (on human-life scale), you learn a few things.

Hopefully.

You learn how to learn. You learn that you can’t learn everything, so you learn what to learn. You learn to unlearn. You learn learning is bad if done too much (hello Faust).

You learn how to be.

A lot of it doesn’t make any sense, but some of it does, or we just pretend.

One of my best friends became dad last week. That made me think about the things I learned in 30 years of being here and what I would pass to my kids.

Here is to my friend Adrian and his daughter Iris.

leelchine (Anastasia Organ) is a Moldovan-born singer-songwriter with a deep love for poetry. Her music gravitates around understanding the substance of human emotion in all its plethora of colours.

leelchine envelops love into indie-soul vibrations, with jazzy notes and bittersweet lyrics. She affirms: "If my story touches one soul only, I want it to be forever."

Her first EP - "Ode To You" - a 6-chapter story on love, loss, childhood, and connection to a higher power - drops for the first time in Romania on November 26 at Transylvania Spoken Word Festival.

Alexandra creates poetry in motion - written on napkins, found in train stations, recited in parks of randomly chosen cities - because more often than not, she's less of a writer and more of a recycling machine for emotionally charged scraps.

Her work focuses on the relationship between individual and environment, how they influence and degrade each other, and the impact of passivity on this exchange. What you saw and walked past. What words got stuck in your throat. What could they have changed?

Alexandra has qualified for the National Slam Championship semifinals twice, competed in the 2024 Transylvania Spoken Word Festival Slam Finals, and practices street poetry whenever she gets the chance.

[RO]

Face poezie în mișcare – scrisă pe șervețele, găsită prin gări, recitată în parcuri din orașe alese întâmplător – pentru că, de cele mai multe ori, e mai puțin scriitor și mai mult mașină de reciclat resturi cu valoare sentimentală.

Textele sale tind să se concentreze pe relația individ-mediu, pe modul în care se influențează și se degradează reciproc, dar și pe impactul pe care îl are pasivitatea asupra acestui schimb. Ce-ai văzut și ai mers mai departe. Ce cuvinte ți-au ramas în gât. Ce puteau să schimbe?

Alexandra s-a calificat în Semifinalele Campionatului Național de Slam de două ori, a participat la Finala de Slam a Transylvania Spoken Word Festival 2024 și practică poezie stradală oricând are ocazia.

Welcome Cluj Highlight Artist 2025 ✨️

Maria Ungureanu is an architecture student in Cluj-Napoca who pursues every artistic opportunity that comes her way, including spoken word poetry. She discovered performance poetry two years ago and has been hooked ever since, never missing an event and always ready to captivate her audience.

She's performed on stages throughout Romania—in Cluj, Bucharest, and Satu Mare—and has also taken her work to audiences in the Netherlands and Slovakia.

She's earned podium finishes at three spoken word slams organized by the Transylvania International Spoken Word Festival and Decopertat Cluj, and has even brought this art form to an exhibition at the Romanian Creative Week festival.

[RO]

Studentă la facultatea de arhitectură din Cluj-Napoca, Maria Ungureanu se extinde cât poate de mult în toate direcțiile artistice care i se ivesc, una din ele fiind lumea spoken-word-ului. A descoperit poezia performată cu doi ani în urmă și de atunci nu a mai ratat niciun eveniment, fiind gata oricând să cucerească fiecare persoană din public. A urcat atât pe scene din țară, precum scenele din Cluj, București, Satu Mare, dar a surprins și comunități din Olanda și Slovacia.

A participat și a câștigat un loc pe podium la trei slam-uri de spoken word, organizate de Transylvania International Spoken Word Festival și Decopertat Cluj, și a adus această formă de artă și la una din expozițiile de artă din cadrul festivalului Romanian Creative Week.
