What is family? Is the classical concept of the family still relevant? Maybe there is a time for a new concept of the family? These are the questions that the director Naubertas Jasinskas seeks to respond while staging the play “The Pelican”.

The artists, working in this play, question the family concept; they analyse the causes of both physically and psychologically violent behaviour in the family as well as the events which both personally and socially form the characters. The director and his team interprets all of it using the family model created by Strindberg. They raise the urgent contemporary questions, such as: what is family? Does its classical concept still function? Do we need a new concept which could help us to reflect the mutual relationships of contemporary people?
