This performance explores themes of human relationships and love. The piece reflects on what lies behind tenderness and gentleness in love, and on how the need for connection and closeness manifests itself through innate animality, distance, and hidden experiences.

Eyes are lustful. Bloated eyelashes flutter quietly. Soupy and cosy foam of the body. Rip it, knead it with a dried birth cord. A fallen belly kisses. Slap with the tongue, bite, argue, strip naked. It will tear, strike, or shatter. The giggling maniac will choke. Feed her with a sweaty palate. Tickle her groin, lie down by her armpit. All the vomit from the heart. Slugs from the heart. While making love, she’ll hide, then she’ll stink. Rut, bark dull, decay.

The performance contains nudity.

For the first time in the festival’s history – the Baltic Student Šķūnis (Barn). A production by students of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
