ŠARŪNAS (2025)
Contemporary circus and theater performance based on the drama by V. Krėvė
In a peculiar mix of national epic folklore story, contemporary circus and dance, “Šarūnas” delves into the protagonist’s inner world. It includes lurking critics, a desire to get something more from life than others, and… an acrobatic trampoline.
Based on the epic drama by Vincas Krėvė, the show does not aim to show an angry duke. It is a story about a person lost between generations, their expectations, and existential desires, waiting for something to happen and meantime – imagining surroundings while dancing and moving in all sorts of directions.
