Salamandra's Dream - Picture is a dance diptych based around themes of transformation and renewal, inspired by an amphibian salamandra. Regarded in the Middle Ages as a messenger from hell and a symbol of alchemy, this fabled creature is able to regenerate lost parts of its body. Trimatrix. Three Movements is based on a score by percussionist Tomas Dobrovolskis and was made with the intention of uniting three different polymetric lines. Lora Juodkaite's trio implemented the composer's ideas by creating three different choreographic lines representing the three forms of water existing in nature: ice, liquid and steam.
