Threads of memory
Povilas Bastys / Miss Plastica × Mantas Varnas
18:00–21:00 | 3 hours
A performative ritual inviting participants to explore what is passed down through generations—memory, embodied stories, pain, shame, and connection. This is not a performance to watch, but an open collective experience where sound, movement, improvisation, and ritual become altar type portal for transformation.
The experience unfolds in three stages:
18:00–19:00 — Physical and mental preparation, energetic grounding, and attunement to the space.
19:00–20:00 — An improvised performative ritual exploring our relationship with transgenerational heritage and collective memory.
20:00–21:00 — Ecstatic dance followed by a gradual process of integration and gentle return.
Just as mycelium connects diverse forms of life beneath the earth, we too are woven together through a shared network of memory. We invite you to arrive with openness and choose your own way of participating—through witnessing, movement, or deep listening.
Povilas Bastys (Miss Plastica) is a multidisciplinary performance artist working across contemporary dance, ritual, and transformative performance. Trained in classical ballet in Lithuania and educated at the Danish National School of Performing Arts, his practice bridges physical precision with radical embodiment. Through his alter ego Miss Plastica, he explores identity as a fluid, sculptural process, merging movement, costume, and ritual aesthetics. His work investigates transgenerational memory and inherited emotion, approaching the body as an archive of lived and ancestral experience. Bastys creates immersive performances that seek catharsis through repetition, transformation, and shared vulnerability.
