Me two / we the clique (world premiere)

Urban Dance Theatre “Low Air”, Lithuania

Renowned female Lithuanian choreographer Airida Gudaitė invites a tight-knit group of young dancers to dig into the archives and document their thoughts on a wide range of issues, such as power relations between adults and non-adults, LGBTQ+, sexualised behaviour and sexual abuse towards teens, gender roles, relationships between children and parents as well as our relationship with our own bodies and flaws. In the process, the ensemble explores their own unique vocabulary of movement. While searching for the right movement in any given time and space, the dancers dive into the archives of their (bodily) memory and face the intimate and often awkward experiences of young people. This leads to questions as to where the boundaries between the two are and why sensitive stories often remain unheard.

The Vilnius dance theatre ensemble Low Air is the first independent urban dance company in Lithuania and has been officially recognised as a theatre since 2012. The creative team of the company is comprised of well-known Lithuanian dancers and choreographers dedicated to promoting new forms of expanded urban dances throughout the country – styles such as hip-hop, house, vogue and waacking. Through experimenting and combining different dance styles and movement forms, focusing on relevant themes for performances, curating and educating young dancers on stage, Low Air both develops and gathers a professional community around it by building interdisciplinary bridges and implementing audience development strategies.

On March 27, 2022, the production was awarded the Theater Prize of the Ministry of Culture of Lithuania "The Golden Stage Cross" as the best production in the category Theater for Young Audiences.
