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 />
