Results of LIAA award winner Justina Mykolaitytė

2026-09-26

We are happy to share the achievements of Justina Mykolaitytė, the second recipient of the LIAA Award!

The LIAA Award contributed to the creation of the new site-specific recital-performance “Fountain Dreams” and its live presentation on May 28-29, 2026. In the performance, Mykolaitytė creates a multi-layered stage image in which a character trapped in liminal states emerges. The artist uses an unconventional space – the “Kongresai” restaurant – as the main setting in which the dream unfolds. 

Team: Justina Mykolaitytė – author and performer, vocals; Beatričė Mockevičiūtė – set designer, lighting designer; Eglė Petraitienė – performer, Baroque violin; Jana Zariņa – performer, harpsichord; Elena Marija Veleckaitė – costume designer; Iveta Macevičiūtė – sound designer; Monika Jagusinskytė – poster photographer; Kamila Žygis – set decorator; Naglis Bertulis – sound designer; Beatričė Misevičiūtė – coordinator; Monika Lipšic – curator.

Justina Mykolaitytė – singer, actress, and interdisciplinary artist working in the fields of performance, theater, film, and music. Her most recent solo projects – musical performances “Fountain Dreams” and “Longing” – explore the intersections of opera and performance art.
