Baltic Take Over sounds like the beginning of an anecdote \u2013 Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian enter a theater. Is this an attempt to find Baltic identity or to export Baltic performing arts? A geopolitical lecture? Well, Baltic Take Over is a festival, a radical experiment, a crash course on Baltic arts, and the destination of a road trip from Lithuania to Helsinki. Curators from each country have invited artists from all three countries to take over the city of Helsinki on June 7-11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

When talking about the Baltics it’s hard to ignore the question \u201cWhat is this Baltic identity?\u201d. The keyword ‘Eastern European’ is not exotic anymore and Post-Soviet as a marketing article is awfully outdated. Is Baltics merely a geopolitical framing, shared culture and history, or common taste in arts? Apart from the Baltic human chain and coastlines of amber, is there anything else that could form \u201can identity\u201d?<\/p>\n

It’d be impossible to define the Baltic art scene or to put a finger on a general topic or an aesthetic. Therefore, by admitting to being completely different from each other, Baltic Take over is additionally an honest attempt to construct an updated Baltic identity and shift the way Baltics are perceived by the rest of Europe. Sometimes a foreign gaze is necessary to see clearly \u2013 that’s why the Australian-born curator and producer Bek Berger took the matter into her own hands by initiating the festival Baltic Take Over.<\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s opening piece will be a premiering Lithuanian performance \u201cConcent\u201d by Povilas Bastys and Konstantin Kosovec, which is analyzing the concept of consent and\u00a0lack of it, to choreographer\u2019s opinion, in our society. Independent contemporary dance company \u201eBe Company\u201d (creative team Agniet\u0117 Lisi\u010dkinait\u0117 and Greta Grinevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117) will present their newest work – performance \u201cI SLAVE: a contemporary love story\u201d based on a love theme that most people smile at and call clich\u00e9. Audience of Baltic Take Over festival will also have a chance to see the work of Anna-Marija Adomaityt\u0117, a choreographer who has been selected by the European Dance Network \u201cAerowaves\u201d as one of 20 most promising emerging choreographers in Europe in 2022.<\/p>\n

The festival co-curated by the New Theatre Institute of Latvia, Kanuti Gildi SAAL, and Lithuanian Dance Information Centre provides contexts in which to present Baltic work, under the lens of Baltic curators. The Baltic Take Over is in collaboration with URB Festival (www.urb.fi<\/a>), Kiasma Theatre, Annantalo, Viirus Theatre, Mad House Helsinki and with the help from Eskus, Takamo, Tanssin Talo, TINFO and Circus Dance Finland. Baltic Take Over has been centrally funded by Baltic Culture Fund and The Nordic-Baltic NGO Program from the Office of Nordic Ministers Latvia, Estonian Ministry of Culture and Lithuanian Culture Council.<\/p>\n
