Dance performance "Indigo. Das Schliemann Projekt" is a story about an (un)achievable dream, a passionate and fierce pursuit of a goal, truth and lies, created image and reality, and an endless search for the true self, a kind of self-archaeology.

The play was inspired by the 19th century. colorful and contrasting biography, personality and story of the discovery of Troy by businessman, polyglot, discoverer of historic Troy Heinrich Schliemann.

In 2022, Klaipėda celebrated the 770th anniversary of the founding of the city, and Europe celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Heinrich Schliemann, the discoverer of one of the cradles of its origin, who started the excavations of Troy.

You can do the assumption that Klaipėda, or rather its port, contributed to the discovery of the ancient settlements from which the European civilization is derived today.

in 1853 after the start of the Crimean War and the blockade of the ports of the Russian Empire, all Russian exports were routed through Klaipėda, as well as imports. So the goods of H. Schliemann, who traded with the Russian Empire at that time, also ended up here. Her huge cargo, consisting mainly of indigo dye powder and other materials needed for war, was probably the only one left untouched by fire during the 1854 war. The Great Fire that devastated Klaipėda. So H. Schliemann doubled his capital thanks to this incredible coincidence. Not only did he avoid bankruptcy, but he also became quite rich. A couple of decades later, he could afford to fulfill his old dream - to discover Troy and prove that it existed not only in Homer's verses.

Important: the performance uses intense light and sound installations, the effects of which may affect the more sensitive or persons with epilepsy. The show is not recommended for children under 7 years old. The scenography ("blue ashes") of the play is not a toy. Make sure that the child does not get on the stage and do not get them into the mouth or respiratory tract. Our experience shows that the ashes are safe and fall only near the stage and do not reach the audience. For additional protection, we recommend wearing face masks.
