Vienudu \/ Together Alone (Lithuania)
Performance trailer: https:\/\/youtu.be\/Lt3X4nOV3mo<\/div>

The duet by dancers Laurynas \u017dakevi\u010dius and Rokas \u0160altenis is constructed as a dialogue with another, though essentially\u2014with oneself. By exploring the movements of breakdancing and their flow, while juxtaposing them with Lithuanian folk dance, the piece seeks to reveal a physical, tangible form for the identity of the male dancer. By becoming mirror images of one another, in today\u2019s world of norms, preconceptions, and stereotypes, they attempt to turn inward once more\u2014toward strength in sensitivity, the sense of self in the other and the other in oneself, and duality.
\u201cVienudu\u201d is an artistic exploration of the canons of hip-hop dance identity, inviting artists and the audience to explore breakdancing as an art form. The performance offers an opportunity to reflect on the concept of a world without borders, drawing on cultural connections and the migration of art and cultural forms. Here, the Western, masculinist dance form of breakdancing is juxtaposed and linked with the movement codes of Lithuanian folk pair dancing. The artists ask: what kind of men are we, what does this dance tell us when we step onto the stage, and what is it like when participating in competitions, such as the Olympics?<\/div>
The discourses of appropriation and homogenization evident in the work of choreographer Airida Gudait\u0117, the creator of the performance, also touch upon ethical questions regarding the use of imagery. Creative explorations in this artistic field and the history of its emergence invite dialogue both within and beyond the performance.<\/div>

Mabel Revival (Finland)<\/div>

\u201cMabel Revival\u201d is a self-ironic synthesis of dance, performance, and cabaret.

WITH US. Episoe 1 \u2013 Karel (67) meets David (27) (Germany)
Performance trailer: https:\/\/youtu.be\/rc4CyRxpwUE<\/a><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
In the performance “With Us”, the bodies of dancers from different generations become open landmarks, exposed to the critical gaze of the viewer and subjected to thorough scrutiny in an effort to decipher the information hidden within them. \u201cWith Us\u201d demonstrates how bodies or their features can prematurely reveal information about their owners and categorize them as disabled, old, or privileged. Skin color, wrinkles, scars, facial features, pigmentation, or hair texture become here a mark of an endless process of social standardization.
In the moment of dance and its performance, a direct and physically dominant comparison of forces takes place between these different generations of dancers\u2014a comparison that does not occur often. Thus, in the performance \u201cWith Us,\u201d an intergenerational discourse and mutual confrontation emerge, in which the choice of a viewing point or categorization by age, disability, and skin tone becomes a relative act. Themes of preconceptions, privilege, and visuality in this performance are explored not only through movement and narrative but also through political connections.<\/div>

Themes explored in the performance: disability, aging, inclusion.
The performance will feature one part of the trilogy: Karel (67) meets David (27).
