Apie dabartį ir<br />
istorinę sąmonę<br />
Teaching about an individual within history and its historical consciousness<br />
is the most important reference for contemporary cultural valuator.<br />
Individual has to develop from history and be responsible for the nation’s<br />
historical interpretation.<br />
The perception of folk theatre is within Lithuanians blood. Forbidden<br />
nature idolatry, deprivation of press, the abolished state; but we have saved<br />
various forms of folk performances. It lies in our historical consciousness.<br />
Woe to those who did not experience the forbidden fruit and did not inherit<br />
with the mother’s milk. The negation of Lithuanian People’s Theatre<br />
is the consequence of spiritual disability or the complete atrophy of historical<br />
consciousness.<br />
The main cultural conflict tangled up when the theatricologist Irena<br />
Aleksaitė published brutal article about the works of the Lithuanian theatre<br />
history patriarch’s Vytautas Maknys works, and unreasonably argued<br />
that ”a key theatre historian’s error is the isolation or the identification of<br />
Folk theatre” 16 .<br />
First, Folk Theater is neither structure nor organization. As a folk song<br />
or folk architecture, or cross working, it is the consequence of the manifestation<br />
of people’s creativity. Neither folk singers, or carpenter had any<br />
organizational structures, but nobody doubt that the individual people or<br />
groups of people were folk masters or folk singers who preserved and developed<br />
the spirit of the nation. Acting is also an integral part of folk art.<br />
Theatricologist may have ones own view, but cannot impose it to the<br />
entire nation. After the publication of the mentioned I. Aleksaitė’s article<br />
all information about Lithuanian folk theater as ethnic cultural object was<br />
cleared off from the encyclopedic publications. A natural question occurs:<br />
what can condition such important issues of national culture and whether<br />
such things are legal.<br />
