Agne Muralyte

International physical theatre actress and mover

_Statment

Once poetry brought me to the theatre. There I got to know that body speaks. This discovery made me interested in experimenting with different forms of movement.

My purpose is to use the actor’s body as the main tool for expression and creation. In my work, I replace the usual actions with unusual behaviors.

The movement is able to speak louder than words without demonstration. When the body is fully engaged, it opens a new imaginary space, which is ambiguous and indefinite. It always demands time to be explored. Then poetry, creation, and sensitivity are able to settle down in an artistic act.
