To mark the Year of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, the dance performance “The Sea” will be revived through a collaboration between the Pažaislis Music Festival and Kaunas Dance Theatre Aura.

"Why do you complain, sea?" – more than a century ago, composer M. K. Čiurlionis posed this question, as if foreseeing the future lament of the Baltic. For choreographer Birutė Letukaitė, Čiurlionis’ The Sea became a central metaphor for exploring the altered relationship between modern humanity and nature, and for expressing today’s anxieties: the toxic pollution of the Baltic Sea and a society contaminated with fear, egoism, and apathy.
