AAT|Artūras Areima theatre

This newly created theatre's vision is to disturb the typical theatrical posture, break stereotypes, to flee from known and unknown theatrical clichés, get away from knowing. Theatre breaks into „life"(social consequences), theatre takes place not only in theatrical spaces 'black boxes ', but in everyday life environment, e.g.: stairwells, cemeteries, museums, etc. Scenography turns into given space, the environment itself will represent scenography. This theatre is not limited by the expression of dramaturgy. Performances should be light, unobstructed, and ironic. Stage action insulation is systematically destroying. The performance should remind sketch, not the complete picture, so the viewer should be able to feel his own presence, think freely, refuse forced pressure. The aim is to gradually reduce tension so that the viewer could further focus on the actors' being on the stage and their physical actions, conceptual links, rather than alleged, theatrical clichés imposed on acting. Viewers of this theatre should not immediately perceive what they saw. They should accumulate experience and maintain free- floating attention. It is important for us, that the ongoing performance or stage action could be seen not only by the target viewer (who bought the ticket), but also, fell into theatrical action, a casual passer-by, who is not aware of production of the theatre or any ongoing process.
