ROCK’N’RAP IS DEAD \u2013 a collaborative work by the young generation of dance creators Areto Piasecko and Aura \u0160riub\u0161ait\u0117. Inspired by rock and hip-hop cultures, and drawing on their sounds and physicality, the creators explore, through the perspective of a young person, fears, ambitions, and the desire to be recognized, appreciated, and heard. The performance invites us to look at what lies behind the desire to be seen and asks: why do we so desperately want to be noticed?<\/p>

During a discussion following the presentation of the sketch in March 2026, audience members highlighted the intimate atmosphere created by the performance, the strong connection between the two performers, and their ability to draw the audience into a slow, emotionally charged journey. They also noted that the performance reveals another side of fame\u2014the one that often remains hidden behind the stage and the image being created.<\/p>

RUJOJA. DUSLIAI LOJA. DVESIA. Their eyes glow. Their swollen eyelashes flutter quietly. It\u2019s sticky and warm in the folds of their bodies. Go ahead and tear it apart or crush it with a dried-up bamboo stick. The sagging belly kisses. Slap it with your tongue, dig in, argue, and strip naked right away. It will rip, smash, and tear. The cackling maniac will choke. Feed her with your sweaty palate. Tickle her groin, lie down by her armpit. All the vomit from the heart. Slugs from the heart. While making love, it will hide, then it will stink. It gasps, it rages, love barks hoarsely.
