In \u201eV\u0113rpete\u201d choreographers Kri\u0161j\u0101nis Sants and Erik Eriksson bring together their keen interest of the moving body and their extensive research of the Baltic traditional songs and dance. Utilizing the melodic structures of folk songs and a circular pattern common to many cultures, the two dancers become the evolution of one constantly changing vortex of movement. Turning hand in hand, it is the agreement and commitment to disagree that keeps the dancers moving together.
\nMusic on stage is created and performed live by M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Mi\u013cevskis and Rihards L\u012bbietis.<\/p>\n
