In the modern unknown of the modern man. By skillfully juggling roles, positions, opinions, wandering between memories, and visions of the future, drowning in a material and image-driven world, we experience our limits more and more painfully and become increasingly confused when approaching others. Once we find ourselves in the inevitable confrontation with ourselves and the environmental chaos, \u201cmidway upon the journey of our life\u201d, we begin to look for the meaning of our existence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12350 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus-710x474.jpg 710w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus-1100x734.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Nuepiko_fotografas-Sebastijonas-Petkus-560x374.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by nowadays existential anxiety, the dancers Marius Pinigis, Adrian Carlo Bibiano, Andrius Stakel\u0117 and Ar\u016bnas Moz\u016braitis, together known as \u201cNuepiko\u201d (founded in 2016), decide to travel their inner hells in the performance \u201cNowhere but not here\u201d. In the performance, the creators reconsider human nature and try to get out of the modern Plato\u2019s Cave in order to see beyond the horizon and to seek for the unknown. The creators&#8217; artistic gaze is set on a man, stuck in a kind of limbo state, between the past and the future, trying to find answers to fundamental and unfading existential questions: who am I and where am I going?<\/p>\n<p>Marius Pinigis, co-founder of \u201cNuepiko\u201d dance company and winner of the \u201cGolden Cross of the Stage\u201d, says that the idea for the performance was born in the face of the pandemic, with the world experiencing an unusual stagnation and everyone spending more and more time at home. The creators wanted to rethink their daily social roles, turn to one\u2019s invisible side that is usually hidden from the world, explore our relationship with others and the inner identity that unfolds within. Adrian Carlo Bibiano agrees \u2013 \u201cthe performance liberates thoughts we didn&#8217;t even think we had and encourages us to look beneath the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12349 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus-710x474.jpg 710w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus-1100x734.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/foto-Sebastijonas-Petkus-560x374.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNowhere but not here\u201d is the Company\u2019s latest work. \u201cNuepiko\u201d, which was already recognized for its performances of \u201c(g)round zero\u201d and \u201cOverheat\u201d, will appear for the first time in a larger-than-usual composition.
