Dance Performance "The King's Tale" – A Story Inspired by the Life and Work of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis' birth, The King's Tale invites audiences to rediscover the dramatic life and creative world of Lithuania's great genius.

This dance performance poetically and sensitively unfolds Čiurlionis' life story – from his youth to his final days – through his relationships with the most important women in his life and the evolution of his creative path. Here, his art becomes not only the meaning of his life but also a symbol of his inner struggle and soul's torment.

The musical fabric of the performance features beautiful interpretations of Čiurlionis' compositions as well as musical dedications by Lithuanian composers. This staged narrative, expressed through dance, seeks to reveal an authentic psychological portrait of Čiurlionis the man and the brilliance of his creativity.

The King's Tale is not only an exceptional cultural event but also a profoundly moving tribute to the history of Lithuanian art.
