After the performance, there will be a meeting with the creative team of the performance.

Dancers Laurynas Žakevičius and Roko Šaltenios' duet is constructed as a dialogue with another, although essentially with oneself. While researching the movements of break dance and their flow, juxtaposing it with Lithuanian folk dance, we are looking for a physical, tangible form for the male dancer's identity to spread. Becoming mirror images of each other, in today's world of norms, prejudices and stereotypes, one tries to look back at oneself, firmness in sensitivity, feeling oneself in the other and the other, duality.

"One" - is an artistic exploration of the canons of hip-hop dance identity that invites artists and audiences to explore breaking as an art form. The performance provides an opportunity to reflect on the concept of a world without borders through cultural connections, bearing in mind the migration of art and cultural forms. The western masculinist dance form break is juxtaposed and linked with the movement codes of the Lithuanian folk dance. The artists ask: what kind of men are we, what does this dance tell us when we go on stage and what is it like when we participate in fights, sports competitions, such as the Olympics?

Emerging discourses of appropriation and homogeneity also touch on the ethical issues of the use of images. The creative explorations of this field of art and the stories of its origin invite mutual dialogue beyond the performance.

The partner of the premiere of the dance performance "Vienudu" in Lithuania is the Sapiegi Palace.
