ラウラ・クトゥカイテ
演出家・アーティスト／リトアニア
Laura Kutkaitė (b. 1993) is a Lithuanian theatre director and artist, and one of the distinctive voices in contemporary Lithuanian theatre. Her practice moves between experimental theatre, documentary approaches and collaborative research, often blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality.
Proposal
Listening to the Mountain / MA is an artistic research project exploring environmental change as a form of shared grief. During the residency in Fujino, Laura Kutkaitė will explore how loss can be sensed through changes in landscape, sound, memory and everyday relationships with place.
Through walking, listening, sound recording and encounters with local residents, foresters, gardeners and craftspeople, she will develop a practice based on attentive listening rather than representation. The research will culminate in an intimate performative walk or open work-in-progress, inviting the community to listen, pause and experience - or grieve - the landscape together. The residency will also support Kutkaitė’s exploration of artistic forms beyond conventional theatre.
The residency was realized with the support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture
