From the very beggining of our formation we immersed into many activities in order to mature as artists. We have been a part of various workshops such as: The History of Documentary Theatre with Lithuanian director Loreta Vaskova; the gathering of various Lithuanian theatre artists, Jauno teatro dienos, established by our course head V. Masalskis; we had an opportunity to practice with Hungarian director Arpad Schilling while he was working on hist spectacle in Klaipėda, Lithuania; we were a helping hand to Taško teatras in their historical and artistic performance Pasivaikščiojimas.
Our debut performance occured in 2020, during annual Lithuanian cultural event Kultūros naktys – where we carried out our visual and rhythmical performance Tabulas Musica, in Presidency Square, Vilnius.

Work description
The rhythmic performance “Tabulas Musica” is an unusual take on portraying some of the biggest and most common issues of human society – rush, ignorance,closed-mindedness, even selfishness, lost feeling of community. The act includes rhythmic, singing and even dancing routines which raise the question of society’s problems, but also adds a humorous spice to it. Such performance is a way to help the viewers reflect and recognize themselves in certain situations, where they can feel excluded or otherwise – being the ones who shut themselves out. “Tabulas Musica” translated from Latin means “music of boards”, during the performance wooden boards are used as a way to show how sounds and movement can be found anywhere, all you have to do is stop and just listen. Our act would not be as mesmerizing without the vast number of acting students moving as one, that is why synchronicity, harmonious sounds and togetherness are the main gestures of this performance, which even creates a sense of army soldiers. Such precision and power delivered by our team is undoubtedly exciting, inclusive and one of a kind.

Artwork description

It’s a story about contemporary human being. He moves and drowns in the rhythms of electronic music together with a crowd, which guides to consume and breath at enormous speed. Person experiences painful loneliness despite being part of a crowd. Existence evolves into emptiness where everything disappears like a mirage. It is time to face yourself. Like a breeze of fresh air, breathing brings essential answers. Breathing and confidence, that is all that person ever truly needed.

“Taško” theatre

Klaipėda, Lithuania

We believe that the connection between the theatre director who imagines the idea, the actor who embodies it, and spectator who observes the idea‘s personification perfectly reflects the collective interpretation of reality phenomenon. 

Theatre proves that reality could be artificially created when a group of people agrees to the certain rules of interpretation and that reality is never finished or defined but is being created every time from scratch as people communicate and interact.

The uniqueness of “Taško“ theatre is collectivity, sincerity, musicality and colorful unexpected forms, for example, in the musical performances we use instruments we make ourselves from everyday household items. Our team values the connection with the audience of different ages and that‘s why our theatre‘s repertoire includes performances of a wide variety – chamber theatre, musicals, immersive theatre, comedies, tragicomedies and even horror fairytales.
In 2017 “Taško“ theatre was established by theatre director Valentinas Masalskis and music composer Nijolš Sinkevičiūtš. In 2020 this companionship was acknowledged as a professional theatre by the Minister for Culture of Lithuania.

Work Description
J. Campbell – one of the most famous American professors who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion – in the introduction of his book writes: “Throughout the inhabited world, in all times and under every circumstance, the myths of man have flourished; and they have been the living inspiration of whatever else may have appeared out of the activities of the human body and mind. It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation.“ (“The Hero with the Thousand Faces“). The actors of “Taškas” theatre are searching for universal examples of the primitive community’s mythology and according to them they create an interpretation for their own myth. The story being created throughout the performance – the trip of humanity since it’s creation till the doom – is based on cultural heritage of the old civilizations: the national epic of Karelia and Finland; the Maori songs; Jainism mythology; the myths of South Africa tribes and Ancient Lithuanians. Using the instruments made from everyday household items and shadows created by dancing lights we want to fulfill everyone’s subconsciousness with allegories to the mythology.

I was born and raised in Tbilisi. Because my grandparents were actors, theatre has always been a part of my life. I knew from the beginning that I would join this field, and my first step was to enter the Shota Rustaveli Theater University in Tbilisi with an acting degree. I am also interested in modernist and postmodernist art, however, in order to do that, I think it is necessary to study classical material.
