Pandemic created endless amount of abandoned spaces, absent from listeners but full of unrealised cultural potential. In Posh Underground Workers Synaesthesis realised a project in one of the most curious buildings in Vilnius - Sporto rūmai, that is closed for almost 20 years but still contains layered history of Lithuanian culture. We are exploring fantastic spaces of the building as well as sharing thoughts about power of artistic vision that always finds new formats and revives spaces" - project curator Marta Finkelštein

The program focuses on instrumental expression in contemporaneity, where the sound environment is fragmented, synthesized, and distorted. Via compositions by Brigitta Muntendorf, Raphaël Cendo, Fausto Romitelli and Mirela Ivičević current sound reality invades the performers field of expression, demanding a new kind of virtuosity, balancing on the edge of impossibility; alternative methods of sound production that are reached through extended techniques, bodily sounds, and additional objects. Meanwhile, the formation of the interpretation balances between rhythmic dictatorship and expressive strokes of texture.
