Baltic Dance
SHE DREAMT OF BEING WASHED AWAY TO THE COAST
Choreography: Lukas Karvelis
With She Dreamt of Being Washed Away To The Coast, choreographer Lukas Karvalis takes a contemporary look at the Baltic mythology. The performance contextualises Lithuanian folklore against the backdrop of the universal human experience. It looks at the tension between two worlds: the material one, based on logic, and the one created by imagination and faith. The starting point of the performance is the interpretation of the Lithuanian legend about the impossibility of love between the sea goddess Jūratė and a fisherman named Kąstytis. But instead of focusing on the tragedy of love, the performance deals with the transformation of a single individual, inspired by the figure of Jūratė.
