House No. 6: Hypnosis. In boxes and on the palm
About this event
"Hypnosis. In boxes and on the palm" is a performance created for the NAMAS No. 6 non-traditional theatre festival program, specifically for the LRT building space in Kaunas – the garage. In this "radio garage," the Psilikono teatras will explore the development of telecommunication technologies, especially its Kaunas-related part. The "X-ray" video projections will reveal the drama of the relationship between humans and media, while the animation of miniature silicone puppets will measure society's resilience. The performance will be accompanied by music by Karolis Lasys, which subtly utilizes the properties of the "radio garage" space and its acoustics.
NAMAS No. 6, the only site-specific theatre festival in Lithuania, will be hosted this year from November 13th to 22nd in the historic LRT Kaunas studio – a building where the history of Lithuanian radio has been created for nearly a hundred years.
During the interwar period, the Kaunas Radio Station was one of the most important cultural institutions in Lithuania. It housed a radio theatre and a symphony orchestra, broadcast concerts, plays, and literary evenings, and employed the most prominent Lithuanian cultural creators of that time. Today, LRT continues to operate in this building. During the festival, visitors will have a rare opportunity to explore this historic space from the inside: parts of the building will become a contemporary theatre stage for the first time. During the festival, there will be three works that artists created inspired by the history, architecture, and atmosphere of this building.
The festival is funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Kaunas City Municipality.
