Seven Sins - Documentary About Modernity and Virtues (directed by Kristina Inčiūraitė)

Seven Sins

Seven sport women who live in seven different Lithuanian cities share their attitude towards the 'seven deadly sins' (Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, and Greed). In the context of the current socio-economic crisis, this documentary was inspired by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's The Seven Deadly Sins (1933), ballet chanté, a ballet with singing. The piece (in the German it is called “Die Sieben Todsünden”) portrays two sisters (the representation of duality in personality) who travel to seven different cities during Great Depression to search for their happiness.

Prof. Stephen Deutsch

: "Titas is an imaginative and skilled composer who possesses a wide range of musical styles combined with a real understanding of how music and images come together. His energy and talent are put to good use in any project he undertakes".

Quote from the Peer Raben Award (2009) jury's statement: "The music is an organical part of this excellently done short film. Petrikis masters the connection between picture and sound in a highly sensitive way. The orchestral score produces a strong atmosphere and draws the audience into the film, being an essential part of the narrative. We'd love to hear this composer's music performed by a real orchestra."

Lithuanian composer Giedrius Kuprevicius writes in his website: "Finally the last Titas work "idenTITy" reached me. Six compositions were published at Star Studio in Rome. I am happy that with each new composition Titas makes a progress and surprises me with new musical ideas". More information at G.Kuprevicius website.

Theatre Director Jonas Jurasas about the music for his play Purge: "It was a sincere teamwork that immersed us into hard work to make this performance. We are pleased the result reached the hearts and minds of the audience".
