“33 BREATHS” – A Synergy of Poetry, Voice, Music and Dance by Elena Daunytė

On Saturday, December 5, at 16:00, the Adomas Mickevičius Public Library of Vilnius County will host “33 Breaths” – an artistic synergy of poetry, voice, music and dance by Elena Daunytė.

How many lifetimes can one person hold? How many experiences can fit into a single breath? “33 Breaths” is a sensitive journey through the inner world of a human being, where fragility meets strength, love meets loss, silence meets sound, and endings meet new beginnings.

Published in March 2026 by Slinktys Publishing House, the debut poetry collection “33 Breaths” by professional cellist, vocalist and poet Elena Daunytė will come to life on stage once again, this time as a unified, live artistic performance. This will not be a traditional book presentation. The author invites audiences to an intimate, personal encounter in which her poems will merge with music, singing, movement and visual projections. Here, words will become music, music will become emotion, and silence will speak just as powerfully as sound.

There will be no boundary between the stage and the audience – only a shared breath. We will all become part of creating this experience, breathing and composing poetry together.

33 poems. 33 breaths. One story about life, its fragility and its infinite power to be reborn.

Duration: Approximately 60–75 minutes
Admission: Free

We invite you to pause, listen closely and take a breath.
