Dance performance “Žemaitė N.18(0)”

The ensemble “Lietuva” presents the dance performance “Žemaitė N.18(0)” about a woman who was clearly ahead of her time.

The new project of the ensemble “Lietuva” has already received positive reviews from the audience, and with its bold look and artistic solutions it has surprised both Žemaitė’s most loyal fans and those who were used to seeing her in a different way.

The phenomenon of Žemaitė, with all the most intimate facts of her life, is worthy of separate attention. “Žemaitė N.18(0)  will surprise you how amazing, unstoppable and independent she is”, says Aušra Krasauskaitė, director and chief choreographer of the ensemble “Lietuva”. She was an outcast at the time, unique in her inner freedom, courage to love and stand out from the rest. The performance will tell the story of the writer’s passions and her extraordinary lust for knowledge, life, art and men that bubbled under her dignified, proud posture and the scarf that always covered her head. Combining an intriguing biography and themes from her work, it will reflect the side of the writer that has not been sufficiently portrayed on the stage, a side that hides secrets that are unsolved for many creators, thus also destroying the established, somewhat undeserved, image of a “granny” with a scarf on a one Litas note.

Information partner LRT. The project is partly funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania
