Kalinausko 6-2 by Ingeborga Dapkunaite

About Performance:

Kalinausko 6-2 is Ingeborga’s haunting, joyful and evocative recounting of one Eastern European family and their stories.

Her family have always celebrated a Lithuanian Christmas in a singular way over the decades, through proscriptions and occupations, through the enforced secrecy of the Soviet Union and through the euphoria of a hard-won independence.

Before each Christmas supper a formal wish is spoken – Let there be no fewer of us around this table next year.

Speaking of the shared continuity of life, death, hardship and joy, the play conjures up with wit and insight, horror and humour, the fraught and fractured history of eastern Europe in the twentieth century.
