The Main Features of Demonic Aestheticism in Lithuanian Culture
SUMMARY
One of the most significant trends in postmodern Lithuanian art (the painter Ð. Sauka, the writers S.
Parulskis, S. Geda, A. Andriuðkevièius, G. Radvilavièiûtë, G. Beresnevièius, the theatre director O. Korðunovas)
can be characterised using Kierkegaardian terminology as demonic aestheticism. The essence
of this phenomenon are: narcissism, existential irony and „debauched“ self-will, always challenging and
destroying all limits and taboos. The origin of their always extremely strong expression is their selfsacrificing
devotion to their Art as to the only God and the same playful indifference to the discrepancies
between fiction and reality, daydreams and nightmares. Their art is perfect professionally and full
of deeply authentic suffering. The themes of angels, sin, crime and efforts to understand their attitude
to God are always painful, cynical, and related to eroticism, perversion and death. The force of the
expression arises from mental experiments in destruction and self-destruction which are signs of a longing
for the traumatically lost sense of the certainty of reality and positive faith in God.
