Seasons
Dance and live music performance

Four seasons, four cellos, four radically different dancers. The
dance and live music performance Seasons is the first joint work by Šeiko Dance Theater and the Klaipėda Cello Quartet led by Mindaugas Bačkus. Performed live by cellists, one of the world's most popular works, Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," takes on a new, deconstructed form on stage. The different seasons and elements are embodied by performers who are unique in their fields and have very different styles of expression and movement: the aristocratic ballerina Beata Molytė, the theater shaman Benas Šarka, the actor and mime Aleksas Mažonas, and one of the strongest contemporary dancers of his generation, Marius Pinigis. Choreographer Agnija Šeiko has masterfully coordinated the collaboration of these personalities on stage, giving them sufficient freedom of self-expression. This creates an unexpected harmony of dance and music between the different performers on stage.

Seasons
Dance and Live Music Performance

Four seasons, four cellos, four entirely different dancers.
The dance and live music performance Seasons is the first joint work of Šeiko Dance Company and Klaipėda Cello ensemble, the latter led by Mindaugas Bačkus. One of the most popular pieces for cellists in the world, Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons takes on a new, deconstructed form on stage in this performance. Different seasons and verses are embodied here by everyone through unique expressions and changeability of movements: aristocratic ballerina Beata Molytė, theater shaman Ben Šarka, actor mime Alex Mažonas, and Marius Pinigis, one of the strongest contemporary dancers of his generation. Choreographer Agnija Šeiko has masterfully orchestrated the collaboration of these personalities on stage, giving them suitable freedom of expression.
