Writer’s Vincas Krėvė drama explores fundamental questions that arise for a young creator — art, relationships, or the state. These questions are about choosing an old or a new path: tradition or innovation, bold change or secure stability.

This question arises combining the youngest and ancient performing arts —  contemporary circus and theater. And between acting and trampoline acrobatics we will not look for the right answer, but we will seek to reflect on a common feeling that inexplicably arises in every generation that encounters new times or changes.
