Join Lina Lapelytė for a special screening of In the Dark, We Play (2025) on 2 December at Ciné Lumière. The screening will be accompanied by a conversation with Lina Lapelytė and Lev Bratishenko, Twister of Meaning at The Cosmic House.
Commissioned by The Cosmic House, the film is part of a site-specific installation currently on view at the house. Taking inspiration from the polyphonous nature of The Cosmic House and weaving in new contemporary voices, Lapelytė and her collaborators (Nouria Bah, Anat Ben-David, Angharad Davies, Sharon Gal, Rebecca Horrox, and Martynas Norvaišas) foreground the mundane and sensory, and invite intimate engagement with the house through their divergent elucidations of the cosmic. In the film, a series of scenes follow the performers as they ponder, commune, and weave new interpretations of cosmic themes. They playfully inhabit the house, drawing out some details and symbols and sliding past others – like the orbit of a singing comet that comes tantalisingly close before arching far away into mystery.
This event is organised with the generous support of the Lithuanian Embassy.
