Cenaclul Flacăra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cenaclul Flacăra (Romanian for "The Flame Literary Circle") was a cultural and artistic movement in the Socialist Republic of Romania led by poet Adrian Păunescu. Between 1973 and 1985, it organized shows and concerts which, although rebellious in comparison to the official entertainment, promoted Nicolae Ceaușescu's cult of personality and the ideology of National Communism.
Cenaclul Flacăra organized 1,615 shows of music, poetry and dialog throughout the country, having more than 6 million spectators.[1] The spectacles had a strong influence over the Romanians, especially the Romanian youth and spread its own ideology, a mix of left-wing Western-influenced ideas and Romanian nationalism.[1]
