Acting (Theater / Cinema)
Sensitivity to space and color
His theater works are distinguished by their visual imaginative power, ability to create atmosphere, and subtle blending of stage action with an aesthetically strong environment. On stage, MUTA combines directorial storytelling with an artist’s sensitivity to space, color, and detail.
The artist’s theater activities were not limited to Lithuania—his plays were presented at international festivals: “Vash vykhod” (Russia), “AITA/IATA” (Korea), and “Theatre Mont-Laurier” (Canada), giving his work a global dimension and opening opportunities for cultural dialogue on stage.
B. Sruoga's "The Five-Leaf Clover"
Balys Sruoga’s two-part satirical comedy is set in an interwar Lithuanian provincial town, where “bachelor brothers” in an intellectual club ponder how to deal with their dwindling solitude and marital dilemmas while bearing heavy tax burdens.
The play is full of comedic situations and sarcastic irony: these bachelors unwittingly begin to compete for a single woman—Rožė Kumpytė—employing strategies that turn the entire “moral” society upside down.
This comedy has become a classic—it has been staged multiple times in theater and television, and also presented as a musical performance with original music, titled “The Five-Leaf Clover.”

About
The play’s action unfolds at the end of the 18th century in the Kurtuvėnai Manor, the residence of the Nagurskis family. The actors embody compelling characters: the conservative nobleman Jokūbas Ignotas Nagurskis, his idealistically inclined elder son Jonas, the young thinker Kajetonas, Kajetonas’ Italian wife Marie, the noble-minded fiancée Karpytė, and mystical figures—Mykolas Olšauskas, Apolinaras Morauškis, and even the ghost of Catherine II.
This performance tells of Sarmatian traditions, personal tragedies, family loyalty, and consequences—encompassing history and symbolism. The atmosphere is created from historical layers and the dramatic relationships between characters, revealing a unique cultural heritage.
