RADVILA DARIUS, VYTAUTO. Muzikiniai paveikslėliai iš LTV archyvų | Plungė

"Radvila Darius, Vytauto"
Music pictures from Lithuanian television archives

"Radvila Darius, Vytauto" is a live dialogue between four instrumentalists performing live music and video excerpts from LRT archives.

In the last years of the 1980s, the period of censorship in Lithuanian television ended. Problems, suggestions and comments accumulated over the years flooded the airwaves - everyone wanted to talk. Formally still without freedom, the audience quickly became involved in the search for a new identity, heroes and vision of a better future. The music, commenting on the images of that time, involves the audience in a tragicomic narrative of problems that began thirty years ago and continues to the present day.

In the work, the nostalgia of the past is replaced by ironic sound interpretations of the eighties and nineties, and the collage atmosphere constantly emerges questions inspired by absurd repetitions and sentimental interludes: is this all a search for a "Lithuanian" character, or the daily life of human existence and everyday life?

The piece uses video material from the LRT archive: 1989-1991 fragments of the programs "Veidrodis", "Akistata", "Vilnius ir Vilnieciės", "Sekmadienio ryta". Simonas Kaupinis, Goda Palekaitė, Julius Kuršis, Ervinas Gresevičius, Jurgis Tamošiūnas
Producer Operomanija
Partners: LRT, Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Art Creators Union

They say that the creator decides in his work one and the same conflict: year after year, work after work, characters and themes change, but the fundamental conflict question remains the same - maybe the nation does the same?
Playwright Birutė Kapustinskaitė

Analyzing the thirty archival material from years ago, it turns out that time hardly affects the topics we talk about. When you talk a lot, words become inflated and lose their meaning. Perhaps music can help to understand or at least feel their meaning.
Director Karolis Kaupinis

It was a balance between music as something that feeds on modernity and visual dramaturgy as something that digests history. A very interesting intersection of two genres.
