Biography
Lina Lapelytė uses music, installation and performance to transform individual narratives into collective voices. She works with both professional and amateur performers in pieces that draw on repertoires ranging from variety to opera. Their vocal performance develops into a collective, emotionally charged event that celebrates polyphony, attentive listening and individual expression. In the way her works break with the codes of Western musical tradition, she invites us to reconsider existing social constructs and to rethink the place of the individual within the community.
