Głos z Litwy. O teatrze Oskarasa Koršunovasa

ENThe article analyses three productions directed by Oskaras Koršunovas, produced in his own group OKT: Hamlet (2008), At the bottom (2010) and Miranda (2011). These productions of classical dramas present a series of directorial solutions – both individual scenes and entire themes – which signal original interpretations derived from his own experiences or the experiences of Lithuanian society. However, they remain surprisingly loyal to the problems posed by the classical authors. Koršunovas belongs – alongside Ostermeier, Warlikowski and Jarzyna – to the generation of directors who after 1989 fought for a new language of theatrical expression. He has also proved himself to be resistant to the fashions and ideologies of the new world. He is an artist consciously referring to dramatic history, but also to the rudiments of European civilization. Keywords: Lithuanian theatre, theatre devouring private life, alcoholism, dissident, infection by evil, metaphysical emptiness.
