[…]

Theatre is only possible when there is a director with his own theatre vision. At the roots of the State Small Theatre of Vilnius (SSTV) stands its director Rimas Tuminas, long praised by theatre critics for a distinctive theatrical language and performances being exemplified for the “all-immersed” psychological acting, more distinctive poetical and lyrical elements and, sure, the buzz. […]
With the launch of “Independence”, Lithuania’s long-and-hard-fought striving for energy diversity and independence has definitely seen a big boost.

The nearly year-long commemoration of the 300th birth anniversary of Kristijonas Donelaitis pays tribute to the Prussian-Lithuanian pastor and poet whose magnitude of legacy in Lithuanian literature has been shaped up by the first classic Lithuanian language poem, The Seasons (Metai), in which he depicted everyday life of Lithuanian peasants, their struggle with serfdom, and the annual cycle of life.
