Balys Sruoga’s Vision of the Future of the Theatre from the Nazi Concentration Camp in Stutthof
Acting).In these letters, their writer summarizes the state of the art of theatre on the background of the humanitarian catastrophe in the middle of the 20th century, and offers his prospects for theatre's evolution.The analysis of Sruoga's letters aims to determine what kind of evaluation criteria he set for the creators of the future theatre, and to compare these criteria with the theatrical language used by the director Gintaras Varnas in his performance Natanas Imintingasis (Nathan the Wise) in 2017.After examining the aesthetic and value aspects outlined by Balys Sruoga, we can discern a dialogue with his vision of the future theatre in modern Lithuanian theatre practices.We can surmise that Sruoga's longing for what he termed "dvasios viepatyst" (the lordship of spirit) is the beauty of utopia presented in the performance of Nathan the Wise as staged by Gintaras Varnas in 2017.
