Jonas Jurašas collection

The collection reveals the life and work of the famous Lithuanian theatre director Jonas Jurašas. He was expelled from the position of director of the Kaunas State Drama Theatre in 1972. Jurašas did not agree to work under the proposed conditions of ‘Soviet theatre director’. He expressed his own view of what kind of working conditions and rights artists, and specifically theatre directors, should have. His terms were rejected by Soviet cultural administrators. Jurašas became unemployed, and had to endure poor living conditions. He and his family were among the first people in Soviet Lithuania to request permission to emigrate to the West, and received it from the Soviet government.

本集展示了一位著名立陶宛剧院导演约纳斯·尤拉沙斯的生活与工作。1972年，尤拉沙斯因拒绝接受苏联剧院导演的任职条件而被解除了考纳斯国立戏剧剧院导演的职位。他不认同在苏联剧院导演的条件下工作，并阐述了自己对于艺术家，尤其是剧院导演应享有的工作条件和权利的独特见解。然而，他的条款遭到了苏联文化管理者的拒绝。尤拉沙斯由此失业，并不得不面对恶劣的生活条件。他和家人是苏联立陶宛最早请求获准移民至西方的人群之一，并最终得到了苏联政府的批准。
