Aura Dance Theatre Godos

What is the importance of history to any individual? How does the past shape our identity? “Godos”, considered to be a Lithuanian feminine narrative, takes one of the starting points in this double bill dance performance. Godos is an old Lithuanian word that is usually defined as wistful dreams, hopes, nostalgic thoughts and unfulfilled expectations. What does Godos mean today and how do we experience Godos? The inspiration for the Lithuanian choreography is the elemental past and its reflections in the people of today. Meanwhile, Panta Rei takes its inspiration from the interpretation of Godos as the song of the heart. As a part of the EEA collaboration between Panta Rei Danseteater and AURA Dance Theatre in Lithuania, GODOS is now under development and will be premièring in February 2016.
