MAKE LOVE
Inspired by G. Boccaccio "Decameron", a consultation with a sexologist, and derived from the creative team's stories -"Make Love" is a musical show about sex. The main idea is to create a safe space to sing about the cringeworthy experiences. The main aim is to find the topics we are too afraid or ashamed to talk about and sing it loud and clear.

Contemporary circus and theatre essay about the fear of death
Fear of death is one of the most common causes of anxiety, often manifesting itself in various indirect ways. The literary source for this performance is the book ‘Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death’ by the psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom, which explores the fear of death through the prism of literature, philosophy and Yalom's patients' experiences. However, this literature is only used as an inspiration for the creation of an absolutely new circus and theatre dramaturgy.
Anxiety, a rush to achieve something, social isolation, conflict - these are just a small part of the common symptoms of our time that can actually hide a terror of death. In the current contexts, when death is so easily accessible, can strike unexpectedly anyone in the immediate environment, pandemics, war, ecological disaster and other unexpected events, it is a good time to speak of a very natural fear. Especially when this anxiety is not spoken about in a lecturing way, but in the language of movement that raises questions.
This show is the first one in the new direction of Teatronas in which the company combines theatre and contemporary circus

ŠARŪNAS. Premiere!
Contemporary circus and theater performance based on the drama by V. Krėvė
Writer’s Vincas Krėvė drama explores fundamental questions that arise for a young creator — art, relationships, or the state. These questions are about choosing an old or a new path: tradition or innovation, bold change or secure stability.
This question arises combining the youngest and ancient performing arts — contemporary circus and theater. And between acting and trampoline acrobatics we will not look for the right answer, but we will seek to reflect on a common feeling that inexplicably arises in every generation that encounters new times or changes.

À mesure – Handle with care
Trupę įkvėpė angliškas žodis „pace“, reiškiantis tiek ritmą, tiek žingsnį. Pasirodyme analizuojama kelionė, į kurią leidžiamės su kitu žmogumi. Šiuo kūriniu menininkių duetas siekia palikti pozityvią ir širdžiai mielą žinutę. Spektaklyje siūloma pažvelgti į intymią santykių erdvę: jame atskleidžiamas komandinis darbas, būtinas, kad viskas veiktų… Tikslas – nesustoti, eiti kartu.
Cyro rato disciplina tyrinėjama visais įmanomais aspektais, derinant ją su tokių trapių objektų, kaip, pavyzdžiui, kiaušiniai, panaudojimu. „À mesure – Handle with care” – tai alegorija apie meilę gyvenime, tai apie bendro ritmo su kitu žmogumi paieškas.
