The multi-media Dance Opera Wasted Land features music, operatic singing, contemporary dance and video projections. The creators of the performance were inspired by the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard\u2018s book \u2018\u201dSimulations and Simuliacrs\u201c and Rodrigue Pla\u2018s movie \u201cInner Desert\u201c (Mexico, 2008). Jonas Sakalauskas\u2018s music was compiled by layering various types of electronic (ambient, experimental, trip-hop) sounds with music from the Romantic era over which he super-imposed special effects lifted from ritual music, office sounds, various other noises, and song insertions. Choreographer Agnija \u0160eiko constructed a performance from the elements of contemporary dance and ballet that are illuminated by minimal costumes by Sandra Straukait\u0117. The main character, a soloist-philosopher, is a dancer. The entire dance troupe represents a choir that also talks and sings. The performance content focuses on the inner realms of the characters, simulating their experiences and relationships to the surrounding world of mass information and events through combined artistic forms.<\/p>\n
For this performance, Agnija \u0160eiko was awarded the highest \u201cKlaip\u0117da Theater Award\u201d in 2012.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
