Radio Dinner

"I don't play music, I present my listening practice" Darius Miksys

In Radio Dinner that functions as a DIY variety-show of parallel worlds, Rai listens to people talking, singing and reading in multiple times and places One of them, a renowned psychotherapist Eugenijus Laurinaitis, is asked to hypnotise the host of the program wanting to become a radio-receiver for one hour with an intention to record the whole program for Resonance FM under hypnosis. A number of other guests, including Vilnius' artists Juozas Laivys, Vale Kale and Darius Miksys come to a dinner to talk about their practices of listening and to make a contact with an obscure radio conversation from 2003 dedicated to a screw, yet they end up meeting Anne, Ieva and Vesta, their own female avatars on air.

The idea of absolute radio archive where sounds of the 18 August 1975 of Luxembourg radio are playing at the same time as forecasts of June weather of 2026 in Vilnius are unfolding is crucial to the Radio Dinner. The broadcasts of people mimicking sounds of cell-phones and parrots, Juozas Laivys eating sushi and transmitting sounds of his stomach, Rene Gabri and Aaron Schuster reading and commenting books aloud, PB8 collecting bird sounds from the streets of future, Gintaras Didziapetris installing the idea of the sound in the mind of Rai, an unknown prayer praying to an unknown God, and many other things will be played including the recordings of the infamous gathering at Locals International Restaurant which took place in 1973 and 2000 simultaneously.
