LETTERS by Rita Mačiliūnaitė
Letters is an electroacoustic vocal cycle in 8 parts, during which two soloists in a blackened stage are pointlessly moving towards the end of the piece.
Aim. To produce an image and action on stage bearing no meanings. Two soloists perform parts written for them, where music is music only, stage is stage, Jonas Mekas’ poetry is poetry, and the action onstage is action and nothing else.
Dedication. The piece is dedicated to the illiterate and those who recognise letters, to the talkers and the mute, to Lithuanians and people of other nationalities, to poets and representatives of all other professions.
Premiere: September 28, 2012, Arts Printing House (Pocket Hall)
