While participating in International dance festival “Aura 25” which was held in Kaunas, K. Kusuda was astonished by public in Presidential palace while dancing his solo performance. This time in a historical space, audience are inviting to watch “Aura” troupe dancer’s performance named “Pneu Pneu Pneu”.

The nearest Lithuanian word to the name of performance – “breathing”. Choreographer believes that breathing unites us with past generations. He thinks that we are immortal and our ancestry is integral part of ourselves.

“This performance – is like tribute to the historical building, also to the people who are already gone and of course, to the ones who will come and see the performance. Because our ancestry is alive in ourselves, they breathe through us. There is no past or future, it is just here and now”. – Kenzo Kusuda said.
