about

performance for storyteller, singer, bonfire and pop music collage

Arturas Bumšteinas is collecting from various people their personal stories about the songs and their memories related to those particular songs (their melodies or lyrics). The audience gathers around a white tall chimney and meets the actor mingling around who tells the stories belonging to various incognitos while the vocalist holding the mike climbs up the chimney and nests herself (un)comfortably on the top of it for the rest of the performance. The fire inside the chimney is extinguished, so the singer can start singing and the actor puts his head inside the fire hole to use the chimney as a natural amplifier. The soundtrack for this happening is a collage cut-up from the songs that are related to the stories, the soundtrack is playing from the speakers hidden inside the house, behind it’s open old windows.

Commissioned by Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists Asociation to be presented in “Malonioji 6”.
Premiered with actor Paulius Markevičius and vocalist Eglė Naujokaitytė-Muk.
