ABOUT
tremolo is a musical term for the repeated, rapid repetition of a sound, interval or chord.
Theatre creators Laura Kutkaitė and Kristina Morta P. B. with the creative team invite you to a performance-performative lecture on pleasure. The chosen title "tremolo" is interpreted as a vibration - both of pleasure and fear. Fear of not conforming to the "norms" created or imposed by society in the context of sexual pleasure. Fear of living up to the expectations imposed by others, which we so often embody that we don't even notice.
What has been and is being repeated to us many times? What remains silent, but we would like to know, understand and hear from each other so that each of us can feel normal and healthy in our sexual lives?
The director chooses the format of a performative lecture, which best allows her to touch upon the themes of women's knowledge of the body, sexual health and self-esteem through the main prism of sexual pleasure. She combines research-based information with documentary stories of people who identify themselves as women.
"A gentle force" is how the creative team describes the artwork.
The work is presented in a special space - the Great Auditorium of the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University
