DECATANGO, the 10th anniversary show of the Vilnius Tango Theatre. Whatever you say, when we hear the word "tango" we all stumble, as if the vibration of the word reminds us of something from our own past, or something we have already begun to forget, and then, silently in our minds, we repeat the mysterious word "tango" a few more times by pressing the base of our tongue to our palate to accentuate the letter "n" ... Yes, this dance is full of mystery and reminds us of ourselves. "Decatango is our decade. It's all kinds of things: colourful, passionate, fiery, romantic, sad, nostalgic, but always real and very sincere. Because there is no such thing as an insincere tango. "Decatango is an exclusive event. Important not only for us, the theatre makers, but also for the entire Lithuanian cultural community and its fans scattered all over Lithuania. Therefore, this time it is a great honour, pleasure and joy for us to present the Tango of the Decade with the Šiauliai City Chamber Orchestra Camerata Solaris under the direction of Maestro Vilhelm Čepinski. The orchestra cooperates with various Lithuanian and foreign artists, Lithuanian choirs, Lithuanian and foreign prominent soloists: vocalists G. Skėryte, A. Krikščiūnaite, E. Kaniava, A. Janutas, L. Gubaidulina, R. Vaicekauskaite, V. Miškūnaite, percussionist P. Giunteris, harpist J. Daunytė, etc. The orchestra also has close ties with German artists: the world-class cellist D. Gering, pianist I. Gabbe, pianist and conductor L. Dorfman. The orchestra's repertoire includes works from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras. The orchestra also includes music from the modern era, from Piazzolla to Pärt. The orchestra was the first to perform works by A. Bružas and J. Keblikas from Šiauliai. The Šiauliai Chamber Orchestra often performs together with the Šiauliai Big Band, thus forming the only symphony orchestra in Lithuania! The orchestra performs in Šiauliai and other Lithuanian cities, and has toured in Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium and Sweden. In 1991, it took part in the Šiauliai International Church Music Festival, and in 2018 - in the Paežeriai Manor Music Festival concerts. During ten years of professional activity, Vilnius Tango Theatre has found its place in the Lithuanian cultural environment, earned recognition and become a significant cultural phenomenon. And few people know that the Argentine tango, a part of the world's cultural heritage, could only come to Lithuania with the freedom of our country. From the first tentative steps to the tango communities and dancers that have emerged in various Lithuanian cities, representing and celebrating Lithuania in world tango championships. As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we, Vilnius Tango Theatre, would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our success. "Decatango is not just a celebratory event, it is a story of all of us.
