Duration:\u00a0<\/b>40 min.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe Dreamt of Being Washed Away To The Coast\u201d is a contemporary take on the Baltic\u00a0mythology. The performance contextualises Lithuanian folklore against the backdrop of the\u00a0universal human experience. It looks at the tension between two worlds: the material one, based on logic, and the one created by imagination and faith.<\/p>\n

The starting point of the performance is the interpretation of Lithuanian legend about the impossibility of love between the sea goddess named J\u016brat\u0117 and a fisherman named K\u0105stytis. But instead of focusing on the tragic of love, the performance deals with the transformation of a single individual, inspired by the figure of J\u016brate, who is experiencing loneliness and a conflict bodily limitations and the fluidity of imagination.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe Dreamt of Being Washed Away To The Coast\u201d is a transformative journey of movement from a single point to a broader space without a defined beginning or end. Throughout the duration of the work, the dance gradually becomes more complex while the dancer moves in circular motions experiencing the confrontation between her own body and the rules dictated by the space. Complex, meditative and fluid like water, the movements create an allusion a deity chained at the bottom of the sea, trying to find balance between her axis and liberation.<\/p>\n
