Game over

It’s been a century since writer who created the rules of games with imagination Julio Cortázar was born.

Inspired by the author, Urban Dance Theatre Low Air presents an innovative live dance installation which connects both visual and dance art.

The performance revolves around game perspective, inviting the audience to witness the collision of reality and dreams. Spectator feels as in particular situation, considers relationship with others and themselves. Subtle feelings interfere with fiction and magic, while becoming inevitable element of movement and view.

Cortázar has this magical realism which inspired artists’ imagination for a long time. Writer’s stories particularly vivid, and they have become a map for our motion and choreography, along with the possible storyline for the dream and reality.

For this newest piece young professionals have teamed – set designer Lauryna Liepaite, lighting designer Povilas Laurinaitis, musician Adas Gecevicius, dancers Airida Gudaite and Laurynas Zakevicius. Though everyone worked as directors and choreographers during creative process, on the stage we see just a two dancers and live music show.
