The presentation of the monograph "The main role - Vytautas Paukštė" will take place in the hall of the Lithuanian Theater Union. The authors, theatrologist Dr. Daiva Šabasevičienė and the actor's daughter Ada Paukštytė, will take part.
According to the author of the book, D. Šabasevičienė, "Paukštė is a huge theatrical epoch, a renaissance of Lithuanian professional theater. There are not many artists in Lithuania whose names dissolve city boundaries and are recognized not only by individual fans, but by all Lithuanians. Bird-like stature, piercing gaze, long gray hair and, of course, a pipe, he looks like a character out of a René Magritte painting. His head is full of clouds, summery clear and full of dark drama. Throughout his life, he lifted people's spirits both by making them laugh and by making them think along with the characters he created. His pipe was stuffed with theatrical tobacco, which we, the audience, smoked. Vytautas held her firmly in his hands and let us smell the taste of good tobacco smoke."
