The performances were prepared in the LMTA Theatre Art master’s program in the course
\n\u201cPerformative Practices in Contemporary Art\u201d. The course coincided with the beginning of the war in Ukraine. There was no alternative to devoting full attention to the subject of war. The four performances are personal, intimate, ritualistic, intertextual attempts to answer the question: What is poetry after Bucha?<\/p>\n
The course was led by Saulius Leonavi\u010dius. <\/p>\n
Artists: Motiejus Ivanauskas, Saulius Leonavi\u010dius, Agn\u0117 Nemanyt\u0117, Vaiva Pauk\u0161t\u0117.<\/p>\n
