About life, about time, about those who are here and those who have already left.
This performance combines live readings of Aivars Veiknis's original poetry, written at different stages of his life, with Dainora Aleksaitė's visuals created in real time with different projectors, supplemented with pre-prepared music tracks. Although the central axis of this evening is Aivars' poetry, the image here performs not only an illustrative function, but also connects and reinterprets verbal information in its own way.
