“Home Trip” is the first collaboration between young Lithuanian director Vidas Bareikis and choreographers Airida Gudaitė and Laurynas Žakevičius.
The performance is about changing nature of the parent-child relationship and home of the childhood, it reflects what does it mean to leave your home and to come back to it.
The stage presents two stories in one house.
The first one explores the concept of love and freedom in Richard Bach’s novella “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”. As for the second one, it is about the feeling of guilt and the inability to communicate shared by the creators of the performance through their personal experiences.
Actors Larisa Kalpokaitė and Jonas Braškys do an amazing job (with projected surtitles) as the parents struggling to understand why their children don’t want the same things they do, while dancers, playing children, stay silent, letting their bodies do the talking through a superbly expressive use of street dance styles.
On the set it’s a full family house even with the irritating upstairs neighbours – a couple of live DJ and drummer.
