A dance performance for audiences aged 14+, inviting them to discover Lithuania within themselves.

Two brothers faced with the break in fate and history – the occupation of Lithuania – chose different paths: one became a partisan, the other a guard. Between them, they were left with a sister, who loved them both and who was loved by them. This is the story of post-war Lithuania, told by the grandfather of the choreographer Darius Berulis, which unfolds in a black-earth, lantern-lit space reminiscent of a night forest.
The performance invites us to recognise Lithuania within ourselves. This family drama brings out common human experiences: inner contradictions, loneliness, betrayal, the struggle for one’s values. What would have to happen for your brother, sister or friend to become a mortal enemy? How do you come to terms with the choices of your loved ones? How to protect them?

I am Charlie, said Paris.
I am the kindergarten of Mariupol, said Vytautas Landsbergis.
I am the name of the one, said my grandfather.
Who am I?
