Arturas Bumšteinas (Lithuania, 1982)
Navigations (from Bad Weather series) (2019) 40’ UK premiere
In Baroque theatre, the work of stage hands was often carried out by ex-sailors, who operated stage machinery as if navigating a sailing ship. In Navigations, the Baroque rain, wind and thunder machines move in a large empty space, following the paths of imaginary cyclones and leaving traces of plant seeds that winds are carrying over the oceans. Phenomena of an ancient climate, viewed from an ever-changing perspective, become a multifaceted experience, a ritual to get an earful and eyeful. Every version of Navigations is an adaptation for the new space and context; at hcmf//, audiences will observe a special instance made for Huddersfield Town Hall.
Produced by hcmf// and Operomanija supported by Lithuanian Culture Institute and Music Information Centre Lithuania
