A multimedia, choreographic performance incorporating singing, reading, and climbing, lasting approximately 20 minutes, exploring vulnerability, self-love, and identity through voice and autobiographical fiction.

Rižė is interested in creating a paradox, where fictional stories can uncover deeply hidden personal views and postures. The artist’s aim is to place themselves in an uncomfortable position, where they cannot hide behind any of their settled strategies or habits.

Vulnerability and affliction are critical mediums for the artist, straining the limits of her autobiographical voice and personal fiction as mortal prompts to stimulate repressed intentions, beliefs, and actions. Is rehearsing self-love enough to yield equivalent pleasure? As our bodies and minds struggle to adapt to social media and artificial intelligence, is ‘fake it until you make it’ a viable strategy or a recipe for emotional collapse?
