Mój fort. Teatr Eimuntasa Nekrošiusa
My fort. The theatre of Eimuntas Nekrošius.

Summary/Abstract: Taking as her point of departure the circumstances of the performance of Boris Godunov directed by Eimuntas Nekrošius at the Sirenos 2015 festival in Vilnius, Maryla Zielińska presents the theatre of the Lithuanian director. She claims that despite their monumental staging, his performances are not addressed to the crowds, but to each viewer separately. The author claims that the stories told in Nekrošius' theatre are hieroglyphs of associations and metaphors, which have to be deciphered like a rebus, and she refers to the director as the author of stage narratives. She points out that the aesthetics of his theatre – the surplus of music and choreography, the costumes, the dominating black – can be irritating.
