Ar dailininko teatras Lietuvoje vis dar naujas reiškinys?

ENArt critic Sonata Baliuckaitė analyses the phenomenon of the artist’s theater and the performances, which formed this concept and which we could see in Lithuania in the latter years: these are the creations of the American director Robert Wilson and Italian author Romeo Castelluci, also work of Vitalijus Mazūras, who’s name up to now is mostly connected to the concept of the artist’s theater in Lithuania. In this context analyzed are performances, created by the contemporary Lithuanian artists Jūratė Paulėkaitė with an actor Dainius Gavenonis and Gintaras Makarevičius, where positions of the artist and director usurps set designer – visual expression, plastic language becomes the main performance’s element and the set designer – the main creator of the performance.
