One of the most famous Žemaitsi, the first Lithuanian historian, writer and educator Simonas Daukantas (1793-1864) wrote not only his most famous work "Būdas ancient Lithuanians, mountaineers and Zemaites", but also the short story "The life of Rubinaitis Peliūze", which is not an original work, but a very free translation of the book "Robinzonas Jaunesnysis" by the German author Joachim Heinrich Campe adapted to the Lithuanian environment. The creators of the show relied on both works of S. Daukantas, so the audience will have the opportunity not only to find out what fate awaits Peliūze and his new friend Nedėldienios (i.e. Friday), who were stranded on an uninhabited island, but also to discuss the way of survival of the ancient Lithuanians.

I felt great pleasure while reading "The Life of Rubinaitis Peliūze", because a long time ago I have not read a work that so delicately tells about how parents should be with their children, how to share their experiences with them, how to raise children. Although we don't really like the word "educate" today either. But I really don't know if there can be happy children in life who were not raised by their parents, who did not draw certain limits of freedom, who did not have any responsibilities in their childhood. In any case, the child will find one or another moral compass on their own, which will form certain boundaries of their thinking and perception of the world. If not at home, then online, in the yard or somewhere else. Finally, in order to break boundaries, we must first get to know them, says the director of the play S. Degutytė.

Premiere: 2023. May 5

We invite you to participate in the educational creative workshop after the performance!

The actors of the Object Theater will introduce the audience to the ancient Lithuanian way of seeing the world, language, household, difficult survival in the face of natural elements , and will invite you to touch on mythological themes. During the educational creative workshop, the main principles of the theater of objects (things) will be presented, a historical excursion will be given to how Simonas Daukantas created the special vocabulary of his works, and, as if in the Olympics, the participants will be invited to describe or depict the word written on the card so that others can guess it. For the educational game, we will use the themes of the performance, we will use various objects of the performance: spoons, bowls, cups and other props. href="mailto:gerda.papievyte@jaunimoteatras.lt">norvile.stonyte@jaunimoteatras.lt
