Hundreds of people took part in an artistic demonstration to raise awareness of Bucharest's seismic vulnerability.
The performance “4 July 1977. The Unknown Earthquake” brought to the audience's attention a historical moment that was meant to remain hidden: the party meeting of 4 July 1977, just a few months after the great earthquake that shook Bucharest, when Nicolae Ceaușescu gave the order to halt repairs to consolidate the damaged buildings. The meeting was attended only by the project managers and architects in charge of the capital's eight sectors.
