Before the Second World War, Vilnius was called one of the most significant centers of European Jewish culture and science. On the eve of the war, about 58 thousand people lived here. Jews, but only a few thousand survived the end of the Nazi occupation. The tragic death of the "Jerusalem of the North" is still of interest not only to historians of the world and Lithuania, but also becomes a source of inspiration for theater artists of different generations and worldviews to reflect on this tragedy of the nation, society and humanity. The Youth Theater, founded in the former territory of the Great Vilnius Ghetto, is consistently interested in this topic and, in cooperation with talented theater creators, constantly initiates artistic research of this brutal and dynamic era.

The latest generation director Justinas Vinciūnas, looking for a unique approach to the Holocaust and a whole range of topics related to this phenomenon, turns not to the great works of fiction, but to the authentic memories of Kazimierz Sakowicz, a witness to the massacre of Jews in Vilnius, in 2012. after the publication of the book "Panerių dienorastis 1941-1943 m. in the form of.

According to the director J. Vinciūnas, the testimonies of K. Sakowicz are so cruel that you have to face the limit of your compassion while reading them. One wants to attribute the described horror to the plane of imagination, even though it is a documentary source. It is this limit of perception that is one of the essential themes of the play. In the performance, we will try not only to feel the silence between the real experience of people and time-polished sources, but also to dispel it.

Premiere: 2023 June 21.
