Other events from the series (27)Untitled World is a work that explores sensitivity as a way of looking more deeply into oneself and the surrounding world. It questions structures in which sensitivity is often perceived as a weakness and offers an alternative perspective: a space where tenderness becomes a source of strength, and openness lays the foundation for freer, more empathetic human relationships.
Empathy is c*nt
Basic respect is c*nt
Pure love and kindness are c*nt
Generosity is c*nt
Meaningful relationships outside of romance are c*nt
Good deeds without expecting anything in return are c*nt
While creating this work, I began with the theme of sensitivity as a way of looking at oneself without filters — allowing oneself to unfold within what is fragile, uncomfortable, yet essential. It became a quiet gesture of opening up, an invitation into an inner world where sensitivity is not a weakness but rather a way of seeing more deeply, understanding more fully, and feeling closer — both to oneself and to others.
Sensitivity revealed itself to me as the ability to look beneath the surface — to perceive not only the outlines of a situation, but also its tensions, contradictions, and silences. Yet the deeper I delved into this subject, the clearer it became that sensitivity only becomes a problem within patriarchal structures that refuse to acknowledge or value it. Toxic masculinity often hides behind masks of strength, control, and silence, suppressing sensitivity as if it were a threat rather than a source of value.
Ugnė Lučauskaitė is a contemporary dance artist and performer. She graduated from the National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Arts in 2020 and, in 2025, received a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance and Pedagogy from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
As a performer, she has collaborated with both Lithuanian and international choreographers, including Agnietė Lisičkinaitė, Aira Naginevičiūtė, Elina Pirinen, and Pietro Marullo. She has also participated in international festivals and artistic programs, including New Baltic Dance and Camping at CND – Centre national de la danse in France.
In her artistic practice, Ugnė explores feminist perspectives, examines power structures and manifestations of toxic masculinity, and investigates the relationship between dance and moving image. Together with her collaborators, she created the work CAR.STAR.BAR., which has been presented in Lithuania and internationally.
Be Company is an independent contemporary dance organization operating as a platform for production and creative development. The organization focuses on supporting contemporary dance makers in Lithuania and internationally, contributing to the creation, dissemination, and visibility of new works.
