September 17 writer, poet, director, songwriter, bard, traveler Vytautas V. Landsbergis returns to the Yellow Sofa Club. This is Vytautas' sixth appearance at the Yellow Sofa Club. During the evening, Vytautas together with his son Jonas will present a new program of songs and verses from his book "Dienanaktis". This is the eighth, recently published book of the writer's poems, in which among the historical and mythological collages arranged like fragments of a script or surrealist incantations, there are also simple sighs about today's time of transformation and war, becoming "from the new to the old, from the old back."
The book "Dienanaktis" was published 3 years after the death of the author's mother, Gražina Ručytė-Landsbergienė. "I had already decided not to write poetry anymore, I didn't write any more, but there was a strange need to talk to my mother. In rows. To reflect on how we were here, how we lived, how we are. About the war that started. The book intertwines ballads, myths, and legends," says Vytautas. (- quote from Vytautas V. Landsbergis Facebook account)
The creative activity of Vytautas V. Landsbergis has been shining in the sky of Lithuanian culture for many years, he has created more than thirty films and plays, written many books for children, several of which have won the title of the best Lithuanian children's book. Vytautas V. creates a theatrical atmosphere in his concerts. During them, the artist inserts motifs of his own verses, screenings of film clips, poetry readings and sincere communication with the listeners between the songs he performs.
From poetry to myth, from myth to cinema. From the genius of children to the wisdom of grandparents. From happy coincidences, funny anecdotes to eternal things - such author's creative evenings of V. V. Landsbergis often turn into undirected performances of questions and conversations, flavored with the latest texts and improvisations. Vytautas will talk about experiences, how knowledge changes ignorance and vice versa, about the importance of creativity in childhood and adolescence at the Geltonas sofos club on September 17.
