Radio play Twenty-four is a recitative poem for voices and two choruses. Vaiva Grainytė’s play interlaces the vocal solos with dense choral textures, creating an atmosphere of mystical rites. The heroine’s inner journey unfolding in the play is an invitation to plunge into dreamlike geological depths, down the unsettling wells of memory and fear. Facing and overcoming them transforms the heroine, as she encounters previous unacknowledged and abandoned parts of herself. The number Twenty-four symbolizes an alchemical union, fulfilment, completeness, and acceptance. The radio play offers a contemporary poetic version of the archetypal hero’s journey – a piece of radio art, a liturgy vocalizing tectonic layers of the unconscious.
