ABOUT THE MUSICAL

June 1 Šiauliai citizens and city's guests are invited to a musical performance "I Was Born at the Same Time".

The performance created by Šiauliai Cultural Centre will bring together children and adult amateur art groups, professional actors and famous artists of the country who have started or are still developing their work in Šiauliai. The musical will turn into a sensitive, personally experienced story, inviting everyone to identify and discover themselves, and to remind of the past thirty years.

The focus of the musical performance is on young people and their lives. These are the people of Šiauliai who were still children in the 1990s, the same optimistic young people in the cold 2000s, and today they are parents, teachers, artists - creators of a new story of their own, their city, their country. Musical dramaturgy is schematic, covering the period of 1990–2020 and highlights the changes in Šiauliai, Lithuania during the thirty years of Independence. The musical will resurrect a somewhat forgotten yet recent past by inviting everyone to identify themselves at the events being shown.

Starring Severinas Norgaila – Saulius, Dalius Jančiauskas – Algis (Saulius‘ father), Danguolė Petraitytė – Nijolė (Saulius‘ mother), Sigitas Jakubauskas – Antanas (Saulius‘ grandfather), Žygimantas Vozgirdas – Saulius in his childhood, Monika Paraugytė – Erika (Saulius' girlfriend), Oskaras Grinius, Benas Vasiliauskas, Adomas Lomeika, Jogaila Girkantas – friends of Saulius.
