Tai n\u0117ra tik renginys. Tai \u2013 susid\u016brimas su tuo, kas mes esame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kas kelerius metus nutinka ka\u017ekas nepaprasto. Lietuviai i\u0161 vis\u0173 Jungtini\u0173 Valstij\u0173, Kanados ir viso pasaulio padeda \u012f \u0161al\u012f savo kasdienyb\u0119, susipakuoja tautinius kostiumus ir leid\u017eiasi \u012f kelion\u0119 \u2013 vieni per miestus, kiti per \u017eemynus \u2013 link vienos bendros akimirkos. Tai yra ta akimirka. XVII \u0160iaur\u0117s Amerikos lietuvi\u0173 tautini\u0173 \u0161oki\u0173 \u0161vent\u0117 \u2013 did\u017eiausias lietuvi\u0161kos kult\u016brin\u0117s tapatyb\u0117s susib\u016brimas Vakar\u0173 pusrutulyje, ir nieko pana\u0161aus pasaulyje n\u0117ra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tai, k\u0105 \u010dia pamatysite, i\u0161liks su jumis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u012esivaizduokite \u0161imtus \u0161ok\u0117j\u0173, u\u017epildan\u010di\u0173 arenos aik\u0161t\u0119 \u2013 gyv\u0105 spalv\u0173, judesio ir tikslumo audin\u012f. Sijonai sukasi tobulame vieningume. Batai trenkiasi \u012f scen\u0105 ritmu, kuris pereina per grindis ir jau\u010diamas j\u016bs\u0173 kr\u016btin\u0117je. Fig\u016bros kei\u010diasi lyg pauk\u0161\u010di\u0173 pulkas, ra\u0161tai gimsta ir i\u0161nyksta per akimirk\u0105 \u2013 kiekvienas j\u0173 sukurtas per m\u0117nesius, o kartais ir metus repeticij\u0173. J\u016bs nestebite pasirodymo. J\u016bs matote atsidavim\u0105, tapus\u012f regimu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kiekvienas \u017eingsnis pasakoja istorij\u0105. Kiekvienas kostiumas \u2013 tarsi dokumentas. Siuvin\u0117jimo ra\u0161tai, spalvos, kirpimas \u2013 kiekvienas Lietuvos regionas turi savo vizualin\u0119 kalb\u0105, kuri\u0105 \u0161ok\u0117jai d\u0117vi kaip parei\u0161kim\u0105. Kai kurie kostiumai rankomis si\u016bti mo\u010diu\u010di\u0173. Kiti sukurti specialiai \u0161iai \u0161ventei. Visi jie sako t\u0105 pat\u012f: mes prisimename ir dar nesame baig\u0119.<\/span><\/p>\n

U\u017e kiekvieno \u0161ok\u0117jo slypi pasaulis, kurio \u017ei\u016brovas nemato.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metai \u0161e\u0161tadienini\u0173 repeticij\u0173 bendruomeni\u0173 centruose. Mokytojai, de\u0161imtme\u010dius aukoj\u0119 savaitgalius, nes tik\u0117jo, kad tai svarbu. T\u0117vai, va\u017ein\u0117j\u0119 per valstijas, rink\u0119 l\u0117\u0161as, siuv\u0119 ir aukoj\u0119si \u2013 kad j\u0173 vaikai \u017einot\u0173 savo \u0161aknis. Jauni \u017emon\u0117s, gal\u0117j\u0119 rinktis bet k\u0105, bet pasirink\u0119 tai, nes ka\u017ekas j\u0173 viduje atpa\u017eino, kad tai \u2013 j\u0173.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0160i \u0161vent\u0117 \u2013 vieta, kur visa tai susilieja. Kur vaikas, pirm\u0105 \u0161okio \u017eingsn\u012f i\u0161mok\u0119s penkeri\u0173, \u0161oka kartu su suaugusiais, \u0161okan\u010diais vis\u0105 gyvenim\u0105. Kur kartos stovi toje pa\u010dioje aik\u0161t\u0117je, juda pagal t\u0105 pa\u010di\u0105 muzik\u0105, sujungtos tuo, ko nesugeb\u0117jo sunaikinti nei sienos, nei vandenynai, nei laikas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vien muzika jus sustabdys vietoje.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gyva liaudies muzika pripildo erdv\u0119 \u0161imtme\u010di\u0173 senumo melodijomis, kurios skamba nepaprastai gyvai. Sutartin\u0117s \u2013 senovin\u0117s lietuvi\u0173 daugiabals\u0117s dainos, neturin\u010dios atitikmens Europos folkloro tradicijoje \u2013 skamba sluoksniais ir hipnotizuoja. Akordeonai, kankl\u0117s, skudu\u010diai. Garsas, kuris ne tik lydi \u0161ok\u012f \u2013 jis kv\u0117puoja kartu su juo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ir tai \u2013 ne tik atlik\u0117jams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0160i \u0161vent\u0117 skirta kiekvienam, kuris kada nors jaut\u0117si lietuvis, svarst\u0117, k\u0105 tai rei\u0161kia, ar nor\u0117jo tai perduoti toliau. Ji skirta mo\u010diutei, pirm\u0105 kart\u0105 matan\u010diai \u0161okan\u010di\u0105 savo an\u016bk\u0119 ir neverkian\u010diai to sl\u0117pti. Paaugliui, kuris at\u0117jo nenoriai, bet i\u0161eina pasikeit\u0119s. Amerikoje gimusiam lietuviui, niekada nebuvusiam Lietuvoje, bet pirm\u0105 kart\u0105 pasijutusiam kaip namuose. Ji skirta kiekvienam, kuriam reik\u0117jo \u012frodymo, kad kult\u016bra i\u0161lieka \u2013 ir ne tik i\u0161lieka, bet klesti, \u0161oka ir pripildo erdv\u0119 \u0161viesos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tai yra XVII \u0160iaur\u0117s Amerikos lietuvi\u0173 tautini\u0173 \u0161oki\u0173 \u0161vent\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nesvarbu, kur pasaulyje gyvename \u2013 Lietuva m\u016bs\u0173 nepalieka. Ir \u010dia, \u0161iomis dienomis, mes prisimename, kod\u0117l.<\/span><\/p>\n
