Three Venice Biennale Golden Lion winners’ compelling take on the future of labor, consumption, and human existence

This contemporary opera is created by Vaiva Grainytė, Lina Lapelytė, and Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė, three Lithuanian female artists whose pavilion won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation at the 2019 Venice Biennale.

Have a Good Day! stirs the imagination with its highly minimalist yet evocative staging of labor and consumption, prompting audiences to re-examine society and quietly bringing to light the multifaceted nature of human existence.

It’s like a mini masterpiece. It’s just nothing to take away, nothing to add – it’s very solid, very simple and very real.
―――Jonas Mekas

Profile

Vaiva Grainytė‘s (b. 1984, based in Lithuania) text-based practice shifts between genres, interdisciplinary theatre works and publications. As a writer, playwright, and poet she takes action as an observant anthropologist: challenged by Grainyte’s poetic interpretation, mundane social issues take on a paradoxical and defamiliarised nature.

Lina Lapelytė‘s (b.1984 in Lithuania) performance-based practice is rooted in music and flirts with pop culture, gender stereotypes and nostalgia. Her works engage trained and untrained performers often in an act of singing that takes the form of a collective and affective event questioning vulnerability and silencing.

Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė‘s (b. 1983, based in Vilnius) works as a filmmaker, theatre director and visual artist. In her creative practice, Barzdžiukaitė explores the gap between objective and imagined realities, while challenging an anthropocentric way of thinking in a playful way.

In their collaborative practice, the artists pay special attention to the relationship between documentary and fiction, reality and poetry as well as the overlap of theatre, music and the visual arts. Their opera-performance Sun&Sea is the second collaboration for the three artists. The work was most recently presented as Sun&Sea (Marina), representing Lithuania at the 58th Contemporary Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, where it was awarded the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Their previous work, the contemporary opera Have a Good Day! for 10 cashiers, supermarket sounds and piano, premiered in 2013 and is touring worldwide.
