"People not for themselves" is more than a performance. It is a performance-mission that spreads the fundamental ideas of the Lithuanian humanist, philosopher, writer Vydūnas. To develop a nation of conscious and free people, its spiritual culture - science, art, morality - this was the main aspiration of the great thinker. Director Jonas Vaitkus considers the personality of Vydūnas to be one of the signposts in today's devaluation of moral values ​​and invites the theater community to a journey in the direction of nurturing love, compassion, conscience, and morality. Let's become people for ourselves - free people in essence and not on the surface, let's not worship the golden calf, but strive for a higher and more perfect humanity. Let's be people in the nation - let's love our homeland, work sincerely for it and be worthy of respect. Let's be people in the universe - let's see the world through the nation and contribute to the good of the world. Composer Tomas Kutavičius and scenographer Jonas Archikauskas turn Vydūnas's philosophical thought into an impressive mystery - a musical spectacle that combines the shadows of the nation's history, the echoes of natural elements and the desire for human improvement.

The dramas of Vydūnas are used in the performance: the trilogy "Shadows of Grandfathers" ("Anga", "Vētra", "People who do not belong to themselves", "Holy Fire"), the tragedy "World Fire", as well as articles and letters.

Folk songs from L. Rėza's collection are playing.
