Riddle(s)

This interactive visual performance, created by director and artist Aušra Bagočiūnaitė Paukštienė, delves into Lithuanian folklore and mythology through playful metaphors and imagery. Young viewers will join two actors in guessing, making mistakes, and discovering answers to questions that reveal the wisdom of Lithuanian folk and the paradoxes of everyday life. The show invites children to experience the magical nature of daily life, viewing it through the lens of nature's beauty, play, and paradox. The riddles posed by the actors unveil the encoded worldview and wisdom of our ancestors, where solving riddles was once a ritualistic act, a form of competition, and a demonstration of wit, sometimes even a matter of life or death.
