Repertoire Blending Theatre, Classics, and Estrada
The program features notable actor songs and stage classics, featuring Kostas Smoriginas’ “Paukščiai,” Saulius Mykolaitis’ “Matrica,” and musical numbers from productions like “Velnio nuotaka” and “Meilė ir mirtis Veronoje,” alongside cinema scores from “Gladiator” and “The Greatest Showman,” according to production announcements. Traditional Lithuanian estrada tracks such as “Riešutų žydėjimas,” “Laukų gėlė,” and “Vasara, vasara” will share the stage with Italian estrada pieces like “Bella Ciao” and a string-arranged version of Egidijus Sipavičius’ “Diskoteka” performed jointly by Genytė and Kunsunga.
Artist Perspectives on the Collaboration
Collaborating artists emphasize the deliberate contrast and harmony of their distinct backgrounds within the show. “Visi trys esame labai skirtingi, todėl scenoje gimsta netikėti muzikalūs dialogai,” said Vaida Genytė regarding the stylistic mix. Oneida Kunsunga noted that the evening’s dramaturgy is designed so that each performance acts as an independent experience while forming a unified narrative. Egidijus Sipavičius added that combining classical sounds with estrada and theatrical elements creates an exceptional evening for audiences.
