Lithuanian Jews are an integral part of our society and have contributed significantly to the development of Lithuanian statehood, history, culture and science. The evaluation of Lithuanian-Jewish relations is adjusted by the experience of the Holocaust in Lithuania and the ongoing debate, which, by interfering in the historical discourse, often distorts the history of relations between Jews and Lithuanians.

The first Jews settled in Alytus as early as the 14th - 15th centuries. The Jewish community in Alytus between the wars was large, well-organised and well-educated. The vicissitudes of history have led to the disappearance of the Jewish community in Alytus, but the culture of this nation is revived in the musical performance "Jewish Street".

A performance based on Lithuanian and Jewish folklore. Comic scenes of life, accompanied by folk humour and authentic Jewish dances and songs, create a colourful picture of the long-lasting coexistence of the two peoples. Musical pieces accompanying the love story of a Lithuanian girl and a Jewish boy, who grew up side by side, will create a mood that reveals the heritage cherished by Lithuanian Jews and the desire of Lithuanians to understand and appreciate the subtleties of another nation.

Alongside the actors of the Alytus City Theatre, we see the members of the Lithuanian Jewish song and dance ensemble "Fajerlech", which has been active for almost 50 years and is probably the only one in Europe promoting the endangered Yiddish culture.

"Jewish Street" is an island full of life, hope and faith, where the story of two lovers further highlights and strengthens the trust in the fundamental values of the Lithuanian and Jewish people, and shows and compares the similarities and differences between the two cultures.

The mobile performance is shown both in traditional theatre venues and in non-traditional spaces.
