Liminal states here become a place of both anxiety and possibility\u2014where identity dissolves and reforms, and the body adapts, resists, or surrenders to the unknown. <\/span><\/p>\n The performance embodies a state of transition, raising questions about how memory shapes our perception of space, how movement affects uncertainty, and how letting go can become the beginning of renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n Creative Team:<\/b> KAUNAS<\/b><\/p>\n November 7 | Kaunas Cultural Center<\/span><\/p>\n KSENIIA BURYKA (Ukraine) | PREMIERE OF \u201cTRACING THE BOUNDED\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n VILNIUS<\/b><\/p>\n November 17 | Naujoji Vilnia Cultural Center<\/span><\/p>\n KSENIIA BURYKA (Ukraine) | <\/span>\u201c<\/span>TRACING THE BOUNDED<\/span>\u201d PREMIERE<\/span><\/p>\n EN<\/b><\/p>\n Company:<\/b> Kseniia Buryka<\/span> (Ukraine\/Lithuania)<\/span> Description:<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cT<\/span>\u201cRacing the Bounded\u201d is a movement-based performance and installation that explores liminality as a space of transformation, disorientation, and emergence. Combining contemporary dance, circus, and visual installation, the work investigates how we navigate identity, memory, and relational connections through transitional states\u2014both personal and collective. Using nets, ropes, and multi-layered movement, performers navigate shifting spaces where gravity, time, and memory blur. Liminal spaces evoke both unease and potential. They are places where identity dissolves and reforms, where bodies adapt, resist, and surrender to the unknown. This performance embodies the transitional state, questioning how memory shapes our perception of space, how movement inhabits uncertainty, and how the act of letting go can lead to renewal. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>Performers: Arija Emilija Di\u010dpetryt\u0117, Kseniia Buryka<\/span><\/p>\n Music \u2013 Eridanas Radzi\u0161auskas<\/span><\/p>\n Costumes <\/span> \u2013<\/span> Ieva Rai\u0161utyt\u0117, \u201cIVI RAIS\u201d brand<\/span><\/p>\n Production <\/span> \u2013<\/span> Sedevru Verpetas collective<\/span><\/p>\n KAUNAS<\/b><\/p>\n November 7 | Kaunas Cultural Center<\/span> NEW WAVE<\/b><\/p>\n November 17 | Naujoji Vilnia Cultural Center<\/span> Company:<\/b> Grensgeval (Belgium)<\/span> Description:<\/b> At the center of the performance, an acrobat creates a living soundscape: a purring cat emerges from a pocket, bees buzz in the air, and everyday gestures transform into unexpected auditory experiences.
