Dance performance

I am March 11

A dance performance for the audience aged 14+, inviting them to explore Lithuania within themselves. In between, they were left with a sister, who loved them both and who was loved by them. This is the story of post-war Lithuania, told by the grandfather of choreographer Darius Berulis, which unfolds in a black-earth, lantern-lit space reminiscent of a night forest.

 

The performance invites us to recognise March 11 in ourselves. This family drama brings out common human experiences: inner contradictions, loneliness, betrayal, the struggle for one's values. What would have to happen for your brother, sister, friend to become a mortal enemy? How do you come to terms with the choices of your loved ones? How do you protect them?

 

I am Charlie, said Paris.
I am the kindergarten of Mariupol, said Vytautas Landsbergis. 
I am the name of the one, said my grandfather.
Who am I?
