The movement performance "Vienat" reflects on humanity's constant movement towards self-destruction while searching for happiness and harmony, and the ability to be reborn after catastrophes – it turns to memory and the human body as a witness to history.

The archaic word "vienat" chosen for the title is found in the 17th-century grammar of Danielius Kleinas and is a synonym for the adverbs "always" or "forever," thus being associated with integrity and permanence.

The scenic narrative of the movement performance is constructed through movement and associations, abandoning the word as the primary tool – here, the body, space, and rhythm speak. Associations are more important than the plot, and presence is more important than motives. Movement does not illustrate, but reveals what often remains beneath cultural layers – a living and vulnerable human being.

Agnija Šeiko is a choreographer, dancer, educator, and founder of the "Šeiko Dance Theatre." Her work is distinguished by interdisciplinarity, a sensitive approach to social themes, site-specific art practices, and the integration of contemporary dance with music, visual arts, and technology. Alongside dance performances, she also creates dance operas, performances, performance-excursions, and musical and theatrical productions. She has created more than thirty productions of various genres, including: "Isadora" (2008), "Dykra" (2011), "Juliets" (2012), "Dior in Moscow" (2016), "The Seasons" (2017), "Snowed In" (2019), "Oneiro" (2020), "Indigo. Das Schliemann Project" (2022), "Onos" (2025), as well as dance performances for children "White Lullaby," etc.

The choreographer's works have been widely presented in Lithuania and abroad. In 2015, the choreographer was awarded the "Borisas Dauguvietis Earring" for the direction and choreography of the contemporary dance and sound performance-excursion "Traveling Churches. Klaipėda / Memel" and for the consistent development of interdisciplinary art. Other awards include the "Golden Stage Cross," the Vita Mozūraitė Prize, the Lithuanian Government Prize for Culture and Art, and in 2021, she was granted the title of Klaipėda Culture Master.
