THE BIRD MASK

A mask has the power to enhance the performer in the expression of movements and emotions, provide more self-confidence and protect them from the outer world - the illusion of fear, failure and judgment. By creating this barrier between here and there, one can explore Psyche more intimately and become fully present. 

The bird mask was created for an experimental orchestra that took place in Plunge, Lithuania, 2024 by the director Gintarė Gurevučiūtė and the composer Dalius Naujokaitis. The aim of the gathering was to unite various people - professionals and amateur musicians, writers and movement artists - to perform a unique piece and explore the art of improvisation.
