In 1941, young Algis and his family are exiled from Lithuania to a Siberian labor camp. Based on the award-winning graphic novel by Jurga Vilé, this moving show uses paper theatre, object puppetry, and digital techniques to tell the story of deportation through a child’s eyes. A poetic, poignant retelling of Baltic history for all ages.
