Ardomasis prisitaikymas: cenzūra ir pasipriešinimo jai būdai sovietinio laikotarpio Lietuvos teatre
Destructive adaptation: censorship and the ways to resist it in Lithuanian theatre of the Soviet period

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to survey the attitudes towards the Soviet censorship of artistic texts and possibilities to evade it, prevailing today in the Lithuanian cultural discourse, and to introduce a possible alternative point of view referring to the context of Lithuanian theatre history. The author comments on the normative point of view, with two opposite ways of assessing the outcomes of censorship and the techniques of subtext, analyses the inner ambiguities of the functioning of censorship (inherent transgressions) and the role of spectator’s fantasy in the political effects and functioning of the subtext of theatre performances. Also, the attitude proposed by the post­ colonial theory and the possibilities to apply it in the research of the functioning of artistic production in Soviet culture are introduced.
