\u010ciurlionis: I See Music is a media opera\u2014a contemporary fairy tale without words based on the works of Mikalojus Konstantinas \u010ciurlionis, in which music, image, and light merge into a unified dramaturgical journey. The creators of the production are Audron\u0117 \u017digaityt\u0117 and Mantas Bartusevi\u010dius.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The visual dramaturgy of the media opera incorporates more than 200 paintings by M. K. \u010ciurlionis. These works form a constantly changing spatial structure and become an active part of the artistic narrative. The musical fabric of the production is woven from \u010ciurlionis’s compositions of various genres.<\/p>\n

The structure of the opera is built upon a gradual journey through elements and states of being\u2014from the primordial spring and the depths of the forest to cosmic visions and the horizon of the sea. The symbolic figure of the narrative is the mythological grass snake, perceived here not as a character but as a principle of movement, transformation, and life itself\u2014a line, a curve, a pulse of light guiding the audience through \u010ciurlionis’s unique worldview.<\/p>\n

The musical score encompasses works from different genres of \u010ciurlionis’s oeuvre. The performance features the Lithuanian folk song Sutems tamsi naktu\u017e\u0117l\u0117, harmonised by \u010ciurlionis and performed by the Vilnius Sacred Music Choir Adoramus. The chamber dimension is continued by the first movement of the String Quartet, orchestrated by Vilhelmas \u010cepinskis and performed by the \u0160iauliai Chamber Orchestra Soliaris under the baton of the arranger himself. A symphonic scale is created through fragments of the symphonic poems In the Forest and The Sea, as well as the cantata De Profundis, performed by the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and the Kaunas State Choir (Artistic Director Petras Bingelis), conducted by Juozas Domarkas.<\/p>\n

\u010ciurlionis: I See Music invites the audience not merely to observe but to experience\u2014to listen to movement, light, and sound, through which the living and ever-changing world of \u010ciurlionis reveals itself.<\/p>\n
