These days it’s becoming more and more popular to devote attention to one’s inner world, to look at oneself. Since I live in times of fast consumption, these topics resonate with me. I raise questions like how can one maintain balance between his inner and outer self, how not to succumb to fast living and rushing, how to remain yourself and what is the price of the world we’re constantly being offered.
The idea of a puppet and object theatre installation Between Heaven and Earth was born while thinking about what qualities should we, humans, have, what qualities should we cultivate to live a full and peaceful life. Also, I have always felt that an installation should be like some constant movement. An installation touches the depths of a person and the heights of the sky, stars and planets, talks to us about divine human qualities, about constant change and rhythms, about Lithuanian beauty, about the memory of Ancient Greek harmony. About all those things that are worth remembering, looking after and protecting, – shares her thoughts Karolina Jurkštaitė, the director of the installation.
