General Information

The main person in the organisation is a theater direcor Žilvinas Beniušis. Actors of the theater are freelance actors. Main source of funding is Lithuanian Council for Culture.

Mission and Objectives

The Contemporary Intellectual Clown Theatre is a creative house that unites clowning genre performances, humor education and comedy creators. Having worked together and separately for several years in Lithuanian theaters, deepened their knowledge in clowning and theater schools, and presented their works at international theater and circus festivals, Žilvinas Beniušis and Severina Špakovska join forces and open a new page in the history of Lithuanian clowning. The aim of the theater is to create high-quality humorous content on the stages of Lithuanian theaters and in social networks, using the genre of modern clowning, its classic routines, physical comedy and interactive acting without the fourth wall, when the audience feels that the actors are acting that way only because this audience, for example, sitting in the 5th row, the 14th place is in the hall. "Modern clowning is characterized by the fact that the classic bright clown make-up and bright costumes are abandoned, and the clown becomes the main hero from the joker. According to the philosophy and history of clowning, a clown can contain being and non-being, essence and nothingness, constantly remaining authentic and at the same time open to complete changeability. Since the myth of the hero in the theater is often abandoned or even declared dead these days, we offer a new modern hero - the clown." - says director Žilvinas Beniushis, co-founder of the theater. "Our goal is to constantly create professional theater and circus content, educate about theater with the help of humor, and use our work to spread light that uplifts the viewer and inspires him to love his life. We hope that the "roof" of our theater will be able to connect more and more artists creating in this genre." - says the co-founder of the theater, producer Severina Špakovska "Contemporary Intellectual Clown theater" creates for both adults and children, spreading the philosophy of humor not only on stage, but also where it is least expected. S.I.K.T. talks about serious things while preserving their depth and importance, and at the same time reminding us of the sometimes forgotten lightness and laughter.

Main Projects / Activities

Theater, Contemporary Clowning, Education.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

General Information
Subtilu-Z is a chamber ensemble from Vilnius. It consists of four unique members and is distinguished by its peculiar music style and unconventional performances. The ensemble was the first one to try an unusual combination – two accordions (Povilas Velikis, Dmitrijs Mihailovs), percussion (Vytautas Švažas) and Lithuanian national woodwind instrument tenor birbynė (reedpipe).
Mission and Objectives

Whether it be a jazz standard, Argentine tango or painfully familiar classics - since Subtilu-Z arrange their music themselves, they always manage to surprise their audience with unconventional presentations and sounds. Another surprise factor is a crossover musical style in which members of Subtilu-Z feel like fish in the water. At first glance hardly compatible, but masterful and tasteful fusion of jazz, ethnic melodies and academic music is one of the trademarks of Subtilu-Z ensemble.
Each concert of Subtilu-Z is a synonym for excellent music, good mood and impeccable style.
