Hamletas by OKT/Vilnius City Theater (Lithuania) in Shanghai

Date: March 10-13-9:30 pm/2 pm

Venue: Shanghai Drama Art Center

Price: 180-380 yuan

Established in 1998, Oskaras Korsunovas Theatre (currently bearing the name of OKT/Vilnius City Theatre) from the outset was determined to remain independent. Such a risk certainly did not come without sacrifices: the newly established theatre did not have a stable source of income, offices, or rehearsal spaces necessary for efficient and creative work; neither did it have a permanent performance venue to present its productions on a regular basis. This daring step was taken for a single reason: OKT firmly decided to cut all relations with the theatrical reality of that time and create a new reality based on a contemporary theatre language. The theatre took further risks: it began to stage new dramaturgy, which at that time was hardly presented on the Lithuanian stage, thus proclaiming that the times had changed and the contemporary theatre had to reflect the reality of the day. OKT set out to look for new ways to communicate with the audience, and alongside introduced new-style management. Despite a sharp reaction and controversial opinions, the audience received this brave venture with respect and acknowledgement. One could assert that in the long run the young director's artistic project won the theatre the name of the most acclaimed and 'audience-friendly' act.
