VIRUS’30: performance “Echoes of the Body”

On Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 6:00 PM, the performance “Echoes of the Body” will take place at the Šiauliai Art Gallery.

Organizer – art platform “Five Skins”.

“Echoes of the Body” is a unique performative fusion in which the sound of the flute intertwines with expressive theatrical movement and sonic storytelling, creating an immersive sensory experience for the audience. The performance blurs the boundaries between music, dance, and theatre, transforming the traditional flute into an interactive, avant-garde object for exploring sound and movement.

Audience members will be invited to engage and become part of the experiential process.
IMPORTANT: the audience will be touched during the performance.

Creative team:
Flute – Dominyka Šeibok
Musical narrative – A. Certo
Movement – Rūta Raciūtė, Inga Galinytė, Aretas Piaseckas
