VŠDT premjera | ANONIMINIAI ŠOKIAI | rež. Darius Gumauskas

“Anonymous Dance”
Documentary fiction

The room is drowned in the twilight. Conventional chairs, laconic front desk, or perhaps office details, musical instruments are laid in the corners. In the depths of the room, there are mysterious doors that sometimes penetrate strange, extraterrestrial sounds and dim, cold light. What is this place? A waiting room for a medical institution, a space for releasing community gatherings, or maybe an underground hiding place? The couple is already on the spot, quietly performing their daily tasks - registering arrivals, dividing them and escorting them. People who are looking for something and what they do not know exactly do not know exactly. Maybe for help, maybe salvation, or just a short oblivion. They patiently wait for their turn to get where they seem to solve all their worries. But is it really possible for them to help? "Anonymous Dance" is an interdisciplinary work that explores various forms of addiction, desperate dopamine searches and a tireless desire to escape reality. The creative group looked broadly on these topics, sharing personal experiences, asking what lies behind addictions, looking for various forms of expression. The performance is based on the actual dramaturgy discovered during improvisations. Music, which intertwines modern electronics and Baroque aesthetics, also plays an important role. All of this helps the actors break free from the frames of traditional psychological theater. Character monologues are created by subtly surrounding the real experience of the creators with fictional, intentionally erasure the boundary between what has survived and what is played. These stories could be true testimony, but it could be a carefully conceived fiction. As it really is - no one can be sure.

Director Darius Gumauskas:
"The idea of ​​the performance came from a paradoxical context - a party where the baroque spinalic was performed, and listeners, modern people, responded lively to old music. Unexpected two -time two -century party atmospheric and Baroque music - a collision that created an convincing image that all and the threat of war is increasingly felt. About the desire to survive, change, maybe even experience inner enlightenment. About the abstinence of the former life, bringing people to the waiting room where he might be able to save. Finally, the perception that the savior is not required to come from the country is everyone responsible for himself, but we are all among the people. ”

Playwright Rimantas Ribačiauskas:
"There is a large number of talented actors of Šiauliai Drama Theater in this performance. But not only them, but also the performance director, choreographer, even the composer has acquired acting education. In the tribe, find a place in it and meet one of my strongest addictions, which I was a little distant - the theater dependence - to make sure he is "carrying" and check the strength of the hangover. "

Composer Vytautas Leidness:
“The musical-artistic content of the performance is based on the principle of common creation and ensemble. Live music (using a spinet, synthesizer, drums and other objects) and actor improvisations stem from listening, trust and spontaneous action of the troupe members, refusing to appreciate both themselves and others. Emphasizes "Musical Zen" - creation through communion and intuition, not pre -planning. There is a link on the stage with Baroque, revealing the sounds of the spinet and the principles of improvisation and ensemble inherent in that time. The process of joint creation opens up unexpected individual and collective creativity opportunities; The aim is to convey to the audience an authentic, free and universal experience of being together. ”

Choreographer Erika Vizbaraitė:
“The choreography of the" Anonymous Dance "performance is created in response to directing tasks and stage situations. The expression of motion was born through creative improvisations that searched for dramaturgy action, the bodily expressions of the characters, enhancing the inner states of the characters. In the performance, motion is not just a form, it manifests itself as a sensation, reaction, emotion, arising from the relationship between artists and the environment. The work is dominated by the organic movement of the characters, from minimalist motion impulses to mass physical structures and compositions. The space transforming the space prevails and the space affects the characters themselves. Movement in the work also arises as a thoughtful creative solution, and sometimes as an unexpected but real impulse.
