AUTOPORTRET

“Nu disociez omul Razvan Mazilu de artist. Si asta nu e valabil doar in cazul meu, imi permit sa generalizez: in cazul unui artist adevarat, planurile se intrepatrund, nu veti sti cu certitudine cat la suta e firesc pe scena si cat e ‘teatru’ in viata cotidiana. E un frumos paradox”.

“Imi place sa cred ca tot traseul meu de pana acum e o implinire. Spun traseu si nu cariera, nu imi place cuvantul, eu nu fac dans pentru a avea o cariera, il fac pentru placerea mea si a celorlalti”.

“Arta inseamna un surplus de viata si prin ceea ce faci, ca artist, trebuie sa incerci sa aduci un strop de frumusete in plus, pe langa frumusetea care exista deja pe lume”.

“Am mare noroc cu dansul, pentru ca ma ajuta sa nu mai fiu vulnerabil in fata vietii”.

“Cred ca ideea de solo ma caracterizeaza cel mai bine pe scena. Ideea de a exista singur pe scena, intr-o ‘groapa cu lei’, ma incita, ma provoaca la modul total, imi place pentru ca eu pot sa controlez totul”.

“Arta dansului dovedeste ca nu exista zadarnicie, ca totul are sens. Redescopar de fiecare data dansul cand intru in sala de balet si am senzatia duala ca stiu cum sa dansez si ca, de fapt, nu stiu nimic”.

“Chiar si in ziua in care toate par sa imi mearga pe dos, ma consider un om norocos. Pentru ca pot admira, inca odata, asfintitul soarelui. O conditie sine qua non a unui artist vertitabil este aceea de a ramane permanent uimit in fata frumusetilor vietii”.

“Am inceput sa dansez de la varsta de trei ani, iar apoi, in timp, am continuat sa studiez dansul fara sa imi pese de nimic altceva, fara sa ma gandesc vreodata ca as putea sa incerc si o alta profesie. Pentru mine, dansul e chiar o necesitate existentiala”.

“Cateodata gandesc arta ca pe ceva mai luat mai in joaca, mai relaxat. Cred ca gresim daca ne gandim la dansul contemporan doar in termeni gravi, seriosi, cred ca ar trebui sa privim totul mult mai relaxat”.

“Eu am crescut la bloc, intr-un cartier bucurestean, in plin comunism. Am avut o copilarie fericita datorita familiei, dar stim cu totii cat de trista era epoca. Nu credeti ca dandysmul poate deveni un reper pentru un adolescent care tanjeste sa traiasca intr-o alta lume, cu lucruri frumoase, cu intamplari speciale? Cand spun dandysm ma gandesc la armonia dintre fond si forma, dintre spirit si vesmant”.

“Ei, fie, imi recunosc un viciu fara de care nu as putea trai: imi plac dulciurile! Nimic nu se compara cu o bomboana cu visina in ciocolata!”

“Peste zece ani sper sa fiu mai intelept, la fel de tanar in spirit, sa nu ma blazez, sa fiu la fel de curios, sa iubesc viata si dansul la fel de tare, sa evoluez, sa fiu inconjurat doar de oameni interesanti si talentati de la care sa invat mult”.

“E foarte frumos la final de spectacol, la aplauze. De fapt, imi place acea comuniune care se naste intre cei de pe scena si spectatorii din sala, bucuria faptului ca unii au creat iluzia, misterul, iar ceilalti s-au lasat ‘mintiti’ frumos”.

SELF - PORTRAIT

“I don’t dissociate Razvan Mazilu the person, from Razvan Mazilu the artist. And I think this is valid for any genuine artist: the levels are interconnected, you will never know for sure how ‘natural’ an artist is on stage and how ‘theatrical’ he is in the everyday life.”

“I like to think that my path up to now is a fulfillment. I say ‘path’ rather than ‘career’, because I don’t like that word. I don’t dance to have a career, I dance for my pleasure and for the public’s.”

“Art is an excess of life. Through what you do, as an artist, you have to add a bit of beauty to the beauty that already exists in this world.”

“I am really lucky with my dance, because it helps me not being vulnerable while facing life.”

“I think the idea of ‘solo’ fits me best on stage. The idea of being on my own on the stage, in the ‘lion’s den’, attracts me, challenges me to the full, I prefer it because I can have full control.”

“The art of dance proves there is no vanity, it proves everything makes sense. I re-discover dance over and over again, whenever I enter the ballet studio with the dual feeling that I know how to dance and that, at the same time, I know nothing.”

“Even the day when everything goes wrong, I consider myself lucky, since I can admire the sunset once again. A ‘sine qua non’ condition of a genuine artist is to keep his capacity of being amazed by the beauty of life.”

“I started dancing at the age of 3 and then I continued studying dance without caring about anything else, without thinking that I could do something else. To me, dancing is a must.”

“Sometimes I think about art in a more playful, more relaxed manner. We might be wrong thinking about contemporary dance only in a serious, grave manner, maybe we can take a step back and relax a bit.”

“I grew up in a block of flats, in a communist Bucharest. I had a happy childhood only thanks to my family, but we all know how difficult and sad the times were. Don’t you agree that Dandysm can become a model for a teenager longing to live in a different world, with beautiful things and special stories?”

“All right, I admit a vice I couldn’t live without: I love sweets! Nothing is more delicious than a sour cherry coated in chocolate!”

“In ten years time I hope to be wiser, just as young in spirit, just as curious, I hope to love dance and life as much as now, evolve, be surrounded by interesting and talented people from whom I could learn a lot.”

“The end of a show, when everybody applauds, is a beautiful moment. In fact, I like the communication between the ones on stage and the public, the ‘complicity’ between the ones who created the mystery, the illusion, and the ones who accepted it, who chose to believe it.”
