What kind of nakedness is THE ROOP’s new video “Let’s Get Naked” about?

The new music video from THE ROOP with an intriguing title “Let’s Get Naked” invites all to open their viewpoints wider. Music video’s action is taking place in @pakruojo_dvaras, where ladies and gentlemen gather for an ordinary solemn feast. But the night takes an unforeseen turn once guests taste one dish.

There are situations when titles and self-made images fall, and the truth reveals itself as naked as it is. In the current context of war, societies and state leaders unmask themselves. We see the true leadership of Zelensky and attempts of some countries’ politicians to close their eyes, we see the democratic values of the Ukrainian nation and the imperialistic face of Russia.

At the same time we discover ourselves: how do we behave when scared, having felt the taste of the horrible reality closeby, where do we channel our energy, who do we become, and what principles steer us forward? In this music video we raise a common question - “where does a human being begin and end?”. From constrained convenience to dizzying madness? Is it liberation and return to one’s primal self or is it loss of responsibility - we leave the decision to the listener and the viewer.

Among the cast of the music video there are famous Lithuanian actors Aleksas Kazanavičius, Sonata Visockaitė, many promising young actors, and a Spanish actor and dancer @albertovelasco. The band was looking for a specific character for a role in “Let’s Get Naked” and Vaidotas stumbled upon a comment by Alberto under one of THE ROOP’s Instagram posts. That’s how unexpectedly this collaboration happened!

The music video was directed by @jonastrukanas, who at first was surprised that the band would contact him, because Jonas is making different style cinematography, which would not suit THE ROOP, or at least that’s what he thought.

“This was the first music video I directed altogether. I don’t even know why it took so long to get my feet wet. When the band told me that the video must be different, the crazier the better, and gave me creative freedom and trust - well, I couldn’t refuse,” - rejoiced the director.

Meals are brought in, tables are laid, gentlemen and ladies gather. Among the guests we also see a Marquis from Spain - actor and dancer Alberto Velasco. What is he doing in a Lithuanian manor?
