Eglė Šimėnaitė

Eglė Šimėnaitė is a Lithuanian artist, actor and performer from Vilnius, working in a wide field of artistic practice internationally. Her deeply pronounced interest in the sonic worlds of humans lead her thinking to translate from immaterial and “non-existing” into felt, understood and apparent. Investigating other abstract textures and materialities, together with her cross-disciplinary approach to creativity, has led her to build artistic performances molding sound, light, colour, temperature and other seemingly immaterial entities into experiences beyond plainly logical understanding. Her passion for sensed dramaturgy, thought, word, composition, atmosphere and aesthetics comes from musicality and whole-body listening practices, as well as from texts and paintings and other forms of art. She is a recent graduate with an MA in Directing from DAMU, Prague.
