Summary/Abstract: The article discusses an important stage in Lithuanian theatre directing: new directors’ novelties that came into practice in the 1970s and 1980s, which brought about a turn towards theatre visualization and led to poetics of the metaphorical theatre. The prominence given to theatrical texts and directing metaphors was one of the most efficient opportunities to create a play as a separate artistic structure in the context of ideological constraints of that time. The speechless communication present in theatre became an opposition to totalitarian rhetoric.
