“EIGASTIS”
Movement play (acting)
In memory of Justinas Mikutis
Author, director and performer Benas Šarka
“Justinas Mikutis (1922-1988) is still called a philosopher, a thinker, even a prophet for his profound insights. In an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, Mikutis attracted many creators with his freedom of thought. His erudition contrasted with the primitiveness of official ideology. He was imprisoned in a Siberian camp for a decade, and even asked for the rest of his sentence to be commuted to firing squad, but returned crippled. He was deeply affected by the traumatic experience, but his posture is the courage of someone who was not afraid of the system, who had nothing to lose.
Justinas Mikutis, one could say, is the Lithuanian Socrates, who influenced many artists – poets, painters, philosophers” (Text from the presentation of the exhibition at the M.K.Čiurlionis Art Museum).
