Performance Synopsis: Anyone who awaits a stormy story of gifts, is welcome to experience the musical and ethnological story, Stork’s Gift. This show was given the highest-ranking theatre award in Lithuania, the Golden Stage Cross, in 2010.
‘He’ and ‘She’ create a world according to the ways of old Lithuanian life. The tree of life grows deep in the ground, its branches cover the earth and the skies over it. The birds are mediators between heaven and earth. The stork is still regarded as a holy bird that brings people happiness. Maybe we will all get a visit from the stork this spring? Let’s try to guess what he brings us!
A musical and poetic performance without any words, performed in a playful rhythm mixed with music from exotic Baltic instruments.
