ACH dance performance ''YOUTH''

Speaking about the dance performance "YOUTH" she directed, which has enjoyed phenomenal success since its premiere in 2023 and has undoubtedly entered the history of Lithuanian theatre, A. Cholina emphasizes: "I have always been interested in getting closer to the truth about life by exploring various aspects of human relationships. The relationship between parents and children is the most complex form of human interaction. Families are mainly created in youth, so many become parents themselves while still being children...

This performance is a kind of art therapy session that allows one to look inside family life. With this work, I want to encourage adults to look at children as equal personalities and see the uniqueness they bring with them. I hope that the family behavior models seen in the performance will make people think and inspire change..."

The strong impact of the performance "YOUTH" and its ability to deeply touch the hearts of viewers have also been evaluated by research – in an emotion measurement experiment involving dozens of performance viewers, whose reactions were analyzed by experienced analysts and psychologists, the effect of the performance was described as undeniably strong, transformative, and encouraging not only great aesthetic pleasure and joy but also contemplation and self-reflection by viewers about their own relationships with loved ones.

Duration: 105 min., without intermission

IMPORTANT! – Continuing to actively promote the tradition of cultural patronage in Lithuania, we invite you to contribute to the future of the independent, self-funded ACH Theatre and to purchase a special, more expensive than usual PATRON TICKET for all our performances.

Thanks to your support, our theatre can plan new premieres, maintain a professional troupe of artists, go on tours throughout Lithuania, even to more remote regions of the country where professional performing arts are less accessible, and not compromise on the artistic and technical quality of the performances. Observing the ever-increasing sales of these tickets, we are convinced – we are definitely not alone. Thank you to every single current and future supporter of the ACH Theatre!

Also, seeking to create a positive change in society and contribute to forming a new approach to cultural patronage in our country, two years ago we took the lead in educating youth and raising a young generation of cultural patrons. Therefore, in the new season, we are continuing the initiative dedicated to all young people aged 15-24 – they can continue to purchase FUTURE PATRON TICKETS for all ACH Theatre performances and watch the performances from a special row, next to the theatre's Patrons.

Young people can purchase these tickets with an already applied 50% discount, and upon arriving at the performance, we will only ask you to present an identity document proving your age along with the ticket. We have no doubt that by providing an opportunity for a young person to see our theatre's performances under special conditions, we are contributing to raising a generation of young Lithuanians who are not indifferent to theatre, art, and culture!
