Time Flowing with Stones is a choreographic-historical composition about man's journey through water, fire, stone and glory. The symbolic mythical time is intertwined with the fates of the people who lived there.
The performance presents two identities of the Klaipėda Sculpture Park - the old city cemetery, destroyed, and the sculpture art exhibition established in its place during the Soviet era, while the landscape of the park itself is transformed into a scenic landscape. The surreal journey is accompanied by the first humans - Eve and Adam - and a raven that has lived in the park's densest tree for several hundred years.
The playfulness of the performance is based on the true story of the parakeets that the children used to bury in the abandoned cemetery after the war. The raven acts as the deep wisdom in the play and the parakeets as the colours, lightness and joy of this world.
"Where there is life, there is death. And vice versa. It is like a waving gauze thrown over the body of humanity. It is up to us to wave together," say the creators of the play, inviting us to take a journey through the stony stream of time.
