HORA ROMÂNEASCĂ. ABORDARE INTERDISCIPLINARĂ
THE ROMANIAN ROUD-DANCE. INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Summary/Abstract: Our paper represents an attempt of identifying a possible „archetype of the Romanian everstanding” in the imagistic- symbolical complexity of the round-dance phenomenon At its measured step, the round - dance devolves out of the rich Romanian ethnographical thesaurus just as a falling star comes down and down to the Earth together with all its halo of brightness and promises for a radiant future. The round - dance celebrates the present moment and reinforces the soul`s need of joy and balance. It joined the Romanians all along their long-lasting process of becoming and so it was a permanent witness of the most significant events in a man`s life. The motif of the round – dance condenses in painting, sculpture, weaving art, pottery, music, dance and literature „the organical sense of autohtony”(Nichifor Crainic), the rotating blue of the sky and the impetuous rush of the water courses , the insidious voice of the forest and the wind`s breeze among the lank, shining hay fields of the Romanian area.
