The idea of the musical performance "Sporto grupė" was born in the gym while playing basketball. Listening to the sounds of balls being hit out of sync, the shouts of the team members - it all sounded like one big unstaged concert - this is how the impulse arose to start a five-year journey into the research of "music through sports" and "sports through music".
The work, which grew out of fragments of experiences found in gyms, playgrounds, blogs, video diaries and advertisements, touches on the experiences of a modern person in a world governed by the "laws" of self-search, self-creation and continuous improvement. On the one hand, such great attention to individuality, body and inner beauty is a sign of social development and high culture. On the other hand, when we understand self-realization as acting and not being - perhaps it turns into another source of stress and existential anxiety?
In the game "Sporto grupė" various rules and images of the world of sports are merged. An ensemble of six DIY (do-it-yourself) instruments spins in a stuffy space filled with trained bodies, their pulsating veins and temples. Trainers for different muscle groups sound like unique musical instruments.
