True, similar theaters in Europe in the 20th century At the beginning of the 19th century it was abundant, but this theater in the Lithuanian context is exceptional - one of the oldest, and this year has been counting 111 years.

This theater is a cell of the history of Lithuania and Vilnius, its DNA.

The dramaturgy of the performance is made up of documentary material-fragments of testimonies, sentences, poetic collage glued from them. The musical concept is based on the principle of recycling of Field Recording: from the audio of old performances (texts, music), the recording of theater staff forms a new, modern audio, with contemporary electronic, live musical instruments. The scenography is the interior of the building itself, the objects it contains, the elements of the old performances, the costumes written down, the artifacts of decorations, archival material-a desk, photography, luminaire ...

"You want to invite the viewer to a certain memory meditation. At the same time, why are we attached to a certain past, what is our relationship to the past? Each historical phase recorded its footprint, its voice. But whose memory dominates here? Who and how do you choose, what to remember, and what to forget? How did the building where different theaters existed became not only a center of cultural life, but also a field of struggle for memory? ” (Mantas Jančiauskas)

Every viewer will travel individually around the theater, one-to-one, wrong one. Virtual wizard, headphones, technology will help. You will not get lost. In this case, there is really exit at the end of the maze.
