A festive year starting with awards

As the year begins, Teatronas is delighted with significant recognition for its work and contribution to the contemporary theater and circus scene.
 
On March 27, International Theatre Day, the “Golden Stage Crosses” awards were presented. We are pleased that our work is among the candidates selected by the professional performing arts evaluation committee. Director Gildas Aleksa was nominated for the “Golden Stage Cross” award for the contemporary circus and theatre performance “Šarūnas” (category: Interdisciplinary Performing Arts Work of the Year).
 
On the same day, the Association of Stage Art Critics (SMKA) announced the winners of the “Text Key” and “Art Key” awards. The association, which unites theater experts and professional stage art critics, annually awards the “Text Key” to the best author of criticism/research works, and the “Art Key” to a performing arts producer or other representative of this field who has made a contribution to the performing arts or its dissemination.
 
The “Text Key” award is given to art historian Dr. Helmutas Šabasevičius for his significant research and dissemination of Lithuanian ballet heritage in 2025. The “Art Key” award is given to director, founder and organizer of the “Cirkuliacija” festival, Gildas Aleksa. The artist was recognized for his promotion of contemporary circus and organization of the “Cirkuliacija” festival.
