Sheiko Dance Theater: dance performance "I Am March 11"

27 March 2024 19:00

A dance performance for viewers aged 14+ that invites them to discover Lithuania within themselves.

Faced with a turning point in fate and history – the occupation of Lithuania – two brothers chose different paths: one became a partisan, the other a stribas (a member of the Soviet security forces). Between them remained their sister, who loved them both and was loved by them in return. This is a story told by the grandfather of the play's choreographer, Darius Berulis, which took place in post-war Lithuania and unfolds in a space reminiscent of a forest at night, covered in black soil and lit by lanterns.
The play invites us to recognize March 11 within ourselves. This family drama highlights universal human experiences: inner conflicts, loneliness, betrayal, and the struggle for one's values. What would have to happen for your brother, sister, or friend to become your mortal enemy? How can you come to terms with the choices of your loved ones? How can you protect them?

"I am Charlie," said Paris.
"I am the Mariupol kindergarten," said Vytautas Landsbergis.
"I am in the name of that," said my grandfather.
And who am I?
