Do you like your name? Have you ever wanted to change it? Do you know the history of your name? Someone gave you your name, date of birth, and other important things that define you today. How do you think it feels to bear the name and surname of a person you have never met in your entire life?
The one-man show Avinai is the result of a creative collaboration between actor and playwright Raimondas Klezys and director Justas Tertelis. This interactive play for young people was inspired by autobiographical experiences. It invites the audience to join the actor in exploring sensitive topics that connect each of us to our childhood, adolescence, and adult life. The play speaks of a young person's regret, anger, sadness, and forgiveness. It addresses topics that are usually difficult to discuss among peers armed with glowing phones. How did you get your name?

The founders of No Shoes Theater, authors of project ideas, and their implementers, Ieva Jackevičiūtė and Raimondas Klezys, are a family duo of art educators and theater creators. Here, they create interactive, multi-sensory, physical theater and educational culture: projects for babies, children, and young people. Both creative and educational projects are designed in such a way that they can be implemented in spaces not adapted for theater.
