Other events from the series (27)“Tarp” is a sound and movement performance exploring the fragile and ever-changing relationship between object and subject. The stage becomes a living environment inhabited by a performer, live-generated sound, fans, and floating forms made from connected garbage bags. Within this landscape, roles are never fixed: what first appears controlled and passive slowly gains agency, while the performer gradually becomes influenced, carried, and transformed by the forces around them. In time, the human figure almost dissolves, leaving behind a moving presence that feels neither entirely human nor entirely object.
At the heart of the work lies the creation of a safe and intimate atmosphere grounded in trust. The audience is invited not to search for clear meanings, but to experience the performance through sensation, association, and imagination. Air, sound, movement, and material continuously reshape one another, allowing tenderness and unpredictability, control and surrender, order and chaos to exist side by side. “Tarp” unfolds as a quiet transformation — an invitation to witness how bodies, objects, and environments can merge into something unfamiliar, vulnerable, and alive.
Robert Aleksander Vinik is a dance artist and performer from Lithuania. In 2025, he graduated with a BA in Contemporary Dance in Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. During his studies, he collaborated with Lithuanian and international artists, including Alban Richard, Elina Pirinen, Agniete Lisičkinaitė, and Aira Naginevičiūtė. In his artistic practice, he explores the relationship between the human body and the external world, with particular attention to interactions with space and material elements, as well as the constantly shifting nature of these relationships.
Be Company is an independent contemporary dance organization operating as a platform for production and artistic development. The organization focuses on supporting contemporary dance artists both in Lithuania and internationally, contributing to the creation, dissemination, and visibility of new works. An important part of its activity is working with emerging and independent artists who do not have a permanent institutional base or long-term support structures.
