A fantasy about the poet Kristijonas Donelaitis, exploring his life beyond the textbooks.
This production offers a fresh perspective on Kristijonas Donelaitis, moving beyond his image as a historical figure confined to textbooks. It aims to portray him as a vibrant, ever-present poet whose work forms a foundational element of Lithuanian identity. Director Rolandas Kazlas, who also stars, seeks to reveal a more intimate side of Donelaitis—the silent observer, the diligent worker, the man rooted in his home and community, rather than just the preacher or the classicist. It's an exploration of a man who embodied his words, living by the laws of nature and time, rather than fleeting human trends.
