At the center of Agnius Jankevi\u010dius\u2019 black-satire musical performance \u201cReform\u201d<\/em>, based on the director\u2019s play of the same title, are the processes taking place in Europe\u2014of which Lithuania is an inseparable part. Migration as a phenomenon is a problem, but an even more pressing and increasingly intensifying issue is the emerging global syndrome of uselessness. Uselessness, both in social and existential terms, is destructive and offers no solutions for changing the situation. Instead, it gives rise to even greater destruction, absurdity, and sometimes violence.<\/p>\n A time of deserted homesteads is coming to the Lithuanian countryside\u2014and this is no metaphor. The small town of Skaki\u0161kis has not been spared. Once known for its bright secondary school graduates and its cheese and butter factory, the town is now merely surviving. Yet the people of Skaki\u0161kis have not lost hope. Among them are still creative, innovative, and visionary individuals who will not allow the town to become a ghost town. Who are these people? Three teachers from the Skaki\u0161kis school, who devise a plan to turn their town into a new Promised Land.<\/p>\n The performance is presented in Lithuanian with Russian surtitles.<\/p>\n Attention:<\/strong> The performance uses smoke and intense light flashes. Profanity is used during the show.<\/p>\n
