Retrotopia -2019
A collage of compositions from the 17th and 18th century (Composers: Dario Castello, Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Sammartini, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Biagio Marini).

Commissioned by Reversio Ensemble and the Medynes Festival in Lithuania 2019
Retrotopia is a music theatre performance for one actress and four musicians. The piece is an examination of a contemporary state-of-humanity in which an irrational constant state of insecurity and growing anxiety results in a fear from the nearing future and a powerful escapist regression to the past. In this musical monologue, legendary actress Jūratė Onaitytė embodies a nameless figure stuck in a time between the past and the future. As she tries to negate between her fear of the coming future and an idealization of the past, her present time becomes more and more unbearable.
