STRANGLED AND SHOT
Creators of the performance Auksė Petrulienė and Tomas Dobrovolskis
Duration 50 min
Psilicone Theatre and Tomas Dobrovolskis present a history of desire – an open audio-visual adventure consisting of a performance of silicone puppets and original music performed live by a man-orchestra.
The script of the audio-visual story “Strangled and Shot” is based on the documentary material of a scandalous prewar case. In 1930, prelate Konstantinas Olšauskas was sentenced for killing his former lover by strangling her. Several years later, having served his prison sentence, the prelate was shot. Both crimes were not definitively solved.
Surrounded by darkness and great interest of period society, this crime story is transformed into a 50 minute-long audio-visual work of art exploring desire.
Silicone puppets are produced from resistant insulation material used in construction. The performance of the Psilicone Theatre is filled with resilient nudity of puppets, the magnetism of music, special visual effects of pastries, and restrained humour. All that makes a universal hermetic substance suitable for filling both small cracks of the heart and large holes gaping in society’s consciousness.
Tomas Dobrovolskis is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, an inventor of original instruments having no analogues in the world: the Brass Globe (Qhun-Ti-Ta) and the Glass. With his instruments Tomas plays solo and in group projects of academic, experimental, improvisational, jazz and world music. He has performed in Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Denmark, Sweden, England, Belgium, Finland, Aland Islands, Iceland, and Israel.
