Dancing

Next Year, Vilnius will be the European Capital of Culture in 2009. Understandably so. There is so much culture here. Music fills the streets as well as contemporary art in unexpected places. There is also dancing. One evening, the gallery we were at had a night of dance performances. It all started off relatively normal.

There were flamenco dancers:

Then came the next, uh, dancer. This was some sort of interpretive dance about the raw human struggle.

At times, he looked like something out of the movie The Exorcist.










Didn't know quite what to make of it. At on point, he started waving the saw around in the air like a lasso. Since I was at the very front, I backed up a little bit because he got really close.
His performance lasted 20-25 minutes.












Here's a video of the craziness:
