tremolo is a musical term for the repeated, rapid repetition of a sound, interval or chord

Director Laura Kutkaitė and her team invite you to a performance-performative lecture on pleasure. The chosen title tremolo is interpreted as a vibration – both of pleasure and fear.  Fear of not conforming to the “norms” created or imposed by society in the context of sexual pleasure. Fear of living up to the expectations imposed by others, which we so often embody that we don’t even notice.

What has been and is being repeated to us many times? What remains silent, but we would like to know, understand and hear from each other so that each of us can feel normal and healthy in our sexual lives? 

The director chooses the format of a performative lecture, which best allows her to touch upon the themes of women’s knowledge of the body, sexual health and self-esteem through the main prism of sexual pleasure. She combines research-based information with documentary stories of people who identify themselves as women.

“A gentle force” is how the creative team describes the artwork.

Laura Kutkaitė is one of the most famous theater artists of the new generation of Lithuania, known for her experimental approach that erases the boundaries between fiction and documentary. Having studied choreography and philosophy, and later directing, she explores themes of the body, gender, social exclusion and identity, often empowering women and challenging patriarchal structures through vulnerability and collaborative creative processes. Her recognized works include The Silence of the Sirens, The Breasts of Teiresias, Judith Shakespeare – Rape and Revenge, Milena and tremolo, a performative lecture on female pleasure.
