“Vedami” success at the “The Golden Stage Cross” ceremony

The performance “Vedami” produced by “Artscape” Arts Agency was awarded with a special award at the “The Golden Stage Cross” ceremony. “Borisas Dauguvietis Earring” went to Mantas Jančiauskas and Rimantas Ribačiauskas for their input in theater in the performance “Vedami”.

Guided’ was born out of workshops organised by the authors and the Artscape team in Pravieniškės Prison since 2021. Developing a genre they have invented themselves, which they call ‘performative encounter’, Jančiauskas and Ribačiauskas are looking for new forms of coexistence in theatre. They are trying to create the mechanics of a performance that actively and provocatively – but safely – involves both convicts and spectators. During a performative encounter, 10 convicts and 10 spectators meet for a dialogue, for which neither side is prepared in advance.
