During one intensive week, an incredible team of performers and theather professional came together in Vilnius for an incubator residency.
We end up creating a full-length, sold-out production exploring freedom as a process, from migration and bureaucracy to childhood trauma and existential loneliness.

I had the opportunity to art direct and create the visuals, collaborating across theatre, light, music, and digital media to bring 15 scenes to life.


ABOUT THE PROJECT

CCAP brings art as a tool for freedom of expression.
The program includes three creative residencies in which new collaborative projects and cultural works in film, music, and theatre are developed.

For this instance, the performance reflects on freedom as a process — a constant movement between choice and doubt, action and fear, personal responsibility and pressure from the system. The actors explore the boundaries that shape everyday life, both those imposed "from above" and those we create ourselves through self-censorship and avoiding conflict.

Through personal stories, music, and physical expression, the performance reveals what often remains unspoken: small moments of moral choice that shape our reality.

The performance does not give clear answers, but creates a space for reflection, inviting the audience not only to watch, but also to relate what they see to their own experience.
