For the first time in Romania, three French artists, Olivier Grossetete, Christophe Goddet and Guillaume Cros, will build a 20-meter-high cardboard structure in the Small Square in Sibiu, which will present on a smaller scale the most important church of the Saxons in the country, the city's evangelical cathedral - a unique event scheduled to take place during the Sibiu International Theater Festival (FITS), announced on Thursday, Dan Bartha-Lazar, responsible for the festival's outdoor performances.
According to the cited source, the first two French artists will arrive in Sibiu on Sunday, and on Monday, in the Sports Hall of the Sibiu theater parking lot, they will start a five-day workshop, during which they will build the pieces out of cardboard.
This unique construction can be admired in Sibiu, for three days, between August 21-23, during the International Theater Festival.
"The construction can reach up to 25 meters in height, can hold 1,500 boxes and can weigh over 1.5 tons! Each project has 3 key moments: 5 days of workshops, 1 day of public construction, and the last day is dedicated to the demolition," reads the presentation of this architectural show.
The Evangelical Cathedral in Sibiu has a tower of over 73 meters, the second largest in Transylvania.
